Study Overview

A 3D printer is a machine that allows to design real objects in 3 dimensions from a file created with 3D design software. The objects created can be models, parts, scale models or prototypes. 3D printers can be used for industrial or personnal purposes depending on their use. The production of parts via 3D printers requires:

The production of materials for 3D printing (plastics, resins, metal dust), The use of machines and 3D printers Softwares (creation softwares) Sometimes services and consulting activities in 3D printing

The 3D printing (or additive manufacturing) market includes the following activities:

sales of 3D printing machines and solutions sales of printed products via specialized machines to customers wishing to create product prototypes printing services

The global market for 3D printers is growing rapidly in terms of printers sold. Companies are heavily investing in the use of 3D printers. It is however still dominated by Germany, the United States and China. Industrial printers, while representing a small share of total sales, account for the majority of revenue generated. The rest of the sales are desktop 3D printers. The sector is relatively concentrated and organized around a few printer manufacturers for the industrial and desktop segments. Regarding Portugal, 3D printing is slowly evolving and is not yet used in large production lines. Currently, this type of printing is mainly used to prototype products. The market prospects are however very promising: the speed at which investments in this market are increasing is three times faster than that of the traditional industry. [Jornal Económico]
