现在是22年的连续出版物,the Wohlers Report is produced with information, “collected from 100 service providers, 61 industrial system manufacturers, and 19 producers of third-party materials and low-cost desktop 3D printers。”

为了制作该报告,Wohlers Associates与一个报告开发团队合作76 individuals and organizations in 31 countries. Ian Campbell, Olaf Diegel, and Joseph Kowen, associate consultants and principal authors, were a vital part of the team who produced the report. “没有他们,就不可能生产它,” said Terry Wohlers.

双位添加剂制造增长雷电竞充值

根据《 Wohlers 2017》,增材制造业的“雷电竞充值grew by 17.4% in worldwide revenues in 2016, down from 25.9% the year before。”我们要求沃勒斯(Wohers)出于本年度增长下降的根本原因他告诉我们,比率

The single biggest contributing factor to declined industry-wide growth was weak performance by the two largest companies in the business. They represented $1.31 billion (21.7%) of the $6.063 billion AM industry in 2016.

Wohlers报告2017记录97家制造商在2016年生产和销售了增材制造系统。2015年,这一数字雷电竞充值为62,在2014年只有49个。随着新的市场参与者,3D印刷行业的竞争正在增加。沃勒斯报告将竞争的水平描述为:空前的。”

An ongoing shift in the market

沃勒斯还指出,“This wave of development and commercialization is putting pressure on the established producers of AM systems.” This is clearly evident in our regular conversations with those across the 3D printing industry, furthermore there has been a perceptible shift in the tone of marketing communications during the first quarter of 2017.

我们问话是否有惊喜for him or the team during preparation of this years report. One particular surprise was, “美国工业AM系统的美国制造商越来越多。他们从2013年3月的五个增长到2017年3月的20个” said Wohlers.

Regarding the dominant trends seen during the preparation of the Wolhers Report 2017, he says, “Another trend is the growth of metal powder sales, which grew by more than 2.5 times over the past two years (2015 to 2017).

Metal powder competition to intensify

It’s more than likely that those in the metal powders market have read past editions of the Wohlers Report and are acting on this information. As 3D Printing Industry has noted, several challengers to the primary metal powder for AM supplier are preparing to enter the market in earnest.

These providers of metal powder for additive manufacturing include魔力,PyrogenesisMetalysis。每个公司处于不同的发展阶段,后来的参赛者可能会发现很难在市场上建立立足点。特别是因为金属AM制造商,至少那些有能力的制造商通常更喜欢将机器限制在单一类型的金属粉末上。
