Specific Impact of 3D Printing on Manufacturing That growth could represent a swing from $1.6 billion in revenue to $4.8 billion. Approximately 49 percent of the global revenue will come from North America and 3D printers will become increasingly commonplace in both the private sector and business world. By 2018, that number is expected to balloon to 845,000. “Mass production is the biggest challenge in 3D printing,” tech writer Lyndsey Gilpin claims, “but with the adoption of large-scale printers and rapidly evolving technology to produce parts faster, the printers will completely disrupt traditional manufacturing in many industries.” The question is: How quickly will 3D printing change mass manufacturing and which industries in particular will be impacted the most?Īccording to data from CCS Insights, approximately 158,000 3D printers were sold in the global market in 2014.
And while virtually all industries will be impacted, few will be changed quite like mass manufacturing.
Every sector of the economy will feel the positive reverberations of this evolving technology and we’ll one day look back and wonder in amazement at how processes were handled in a pre-3D world. You’ll be hard pressed to find an industry that won’t be impacted or influenced by 3D printing in the coming decade.
