3D打印行业的研究表明，台式机3D打印机的市场在2018年经历了增长的加速，售出了不到50万个桌面3D打印机。雷电竞app下载
扩展和分析研究公司提供的季度数据Context, shows an impressive 52% year-on-year growth in 3D printer volume sales.
This is a sizeable shift from the comparative figures of 35% and 38% recorded in 2017 and 2016 respectively. Our analysis suggests that 3 main factors can explain the acceleration.
首先，新玩家以高质量的500 $ 3D打印机进入市场。雷电竞app下载例如，3D打印机的单元范围已帮助该公司按数量成为世界上最大的3D印刷公司雷电竞app下载。XYZ 3D打印和M3D的增加，还有很大的市场份额。
The second factor is that an improvement in the overall quality of desktop 3D printers. This improvement in quality has brought a new generation of customers looking for plug and play 3D printers. For comparison, in 2017 a 3D printer with the same or better characteristics than a 2013 3D printer is available at a price 10 times lower.
第三，由于领先平台的显着增长，例如Thingiverse和myminifactory.com。连接3D打印机以及质量3D可打印内容的易用性支持了早期采用者以外的人群的需求。
Finally we would like to point out that 3D printers are making their way into every classroom. For universities teaching Mechanical, Design or Engineering courses – the absence of access to a 3D printer in 2018 would be remarkable.
在2020年每年售出的100万台机器在非常保守的情况下售出
从2014年底到2017年，在短短的3年中，售出的桌面3D打印机总数几乎增加了两倍，即复合年增长率为42％。雷电竞app下载我们的分析表明，这种增长水平将在未来十年中持续下去。
的确，我们预计3D打印机的价格会进一步降低，可用3D可打印内容的质量显着提高，机器的进一步改进（更快，易于使用）以及雷电竞app下载所需材料价格的大幅下降。
We also note that the early adopters (the makers of the 2009-2012 years) are now replacing their machines with new faster and cheaper 3D printers.
This expected continuous growth in the number of 3D printers sold will lead to 1M machines sold in 2020, even in a very conservative scenario (CAGR at 25% for 2018-2020). In a more optimistic scenario, we forecast over 1.5M 3d printers will be sold in 2020.
100M machines sold in 2030 becomes realistic prospect
Following 3 years of strong growth (2015-2017) it becomes highly likely to expect mass adoption ofthe 3D printing technology by 2030. Indeed if we assume the CAGR to remain at the level seen in the 2015-2017 period (42%), the worldwide annual sales of desktop 3D printers would reach over 50M units in 2030. With a slightly higher CAGR (50%), the annual sale will establish at 100M units.
这样的大规模采用certa的后果inly difficult to comprehend at this moment, in a similar fashion to how difficult grasping how the internet would go on to change our lives. With that said, we believe that some significant markets will be disrupted. We naturally forecast a digital distribution of toys and spare parts. Demand for 3D printable content will explode with more machines able to print faster. 3D design software to create, edit and customise digital assets will become the natural tool for any creator.
