Additive Manufacturing Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Rising Demand for Lightweight Body for Automotives - Additive manufacturing allows for complex and intricate designs that are not possible with traditional manufacturing methods. This enables engineers to optimize the vehicle’s compromising on strength or safety. The lightweight material, including alloys, aluminum, steel, and polymer composites can significantly reduce the body weight of the vehicle by around 50. In addition to this, the 10% reduction in weight can improve fuel efficiency by around 6%-8%.
  • Advancement in 3D Printing Technologies - Additive manufacturing is also known as 3D printing. In 2021, around 2 million 3D printers were shipped; by 2030, this figure is expected to rise to 22 million units, worldwide. The rising demand for 3D printing has pushed manufacturers to develop the technologies of 3D printing. For instance, there have been significant advancements in multi-material 3d printing, enabling the simultaneous printing of multiple materials or the seamless integration of different materials within a single printed object.
  • Greater Flexibility in Customization and Production – By the use of additive manufacturing, designs of specific dimensions and features of an object can be easily modified in the design software, which enables quicker customization. The parameters of design and quality can be adjusted to individual preferences, personalized fits, or specific functional requirements.

Challenges

  • High cost of 3D printers- 3D printers are not affordable by all businesses, due to their low budgets. The average selling price of a 3D printer is around USD 300,000 to USD 1.5 million. However, the final price depends on the choice of the material. Since the cost of specialized materials, especially those with high-performance properties can impact the price range.  Therefore, they can be relatively expensive when compared to traditional manufacturing equipment.
  • Insufficient Technical Knowledge of the Machine
  • Regulatory and Certification Requirements
