Top Ten Trends in the 3D Printing Industry

Transformation to a Service Provider: 3D printing customers are increasingly inclined to seek "one-stop 3D printing services" rather than simply purchasing equipment or materials. Traditional 3D printing manufacturers will transform from being mere equipment or material suppliers to a "service-oriented role" capable of solving customer problems.

Top Ten Trends in the 3D Printing Industry

The development trends of 3D printing technology mainly include the following aspects:

Transformation into service providers: 3D printing customers are more inclined to seek "one-stop 3D printing services" rather than simply purchasing equipment or materials. Traditional 3D printing manufacturers will transform from the role of simply equipment or material suppliers to a "service-oriented role" that can solve customer problems, providing standardized service solutions from design to production.

The arrival of new players: With the continuous development of the 3D printing industry, more new players will enter the market. These new entrants may come from internal incubation of existing enterprises or cross-border players from traditional industries, such as laser and 2D printer companies. These new players will actively deploy the 3D printing market, driving further development of the industry.

Technological breakthroughs and application expansion: China has made significant breakthroughs in continuous fiber 3D printing, multi-material printing, and nano-level printing, reaching the world's advanced level. At the same time, new materials tailored for 3D printing are being accelerated in development and certification. 3D printing technology continues to expand application scenarios, empowering the high-quality integration of the real and digital economies.

Market fragmentation and high cost issues: The global 3D printing market faces challenges of fragmentation, with frequent occurrences of enterprise withdrawals, closures, and mergers and acquisitions. High costs, including high prices of materials and equipment, are a major challenge to enterprise survival. Domestic 3D printing enterprises need to reduce the costs of raw materials and equipment and improve the printing speed and accuracy of equipment through technological innovation.

Development of file formats: Although the STL format is widely used, its limitations are gradually becoming apparent. In contrast, the 3MF format, with its superior advantages, is gradually becoming the new leader in 3D printing file formats. The 3MF format can better meet the growing market demand.
