WHY IT MATTERS<\/h1>\n

<\/h4>\n

The 3D printing market is growing rapidly. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Smithers Pira <\/span>predicts<\/span><\/a> that the market will grow nearly 10x in the next 10 years, from $5.8 billion in 2017 up to $55.8 billion in 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"McKinsey takes it a step farther, <\/span>suggesting<\/span><\/a> that by 2025, 3D printing could have up to a $500 billion economic impact. The study also noted that 5-10% of all consumer products (in relevant categories) could be 3D printed by then.<\/span><\/p>\n

5-10 PERCENT!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

But it\u2019s not just consumer products. Additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) is finding uses in nearly every vertical market. No longer just confined to aerospace, automotive, and medical, companies in the energy and construction sectors are also finding innovative new use cases. Educators are integrating 3D printing into their STEM and STEAM curriculum. Even artists and museums are looking at how the technology can be used to help them design, build and maintain their works.<\/span><\/p>\n

BUT, the pool is getting more crowded.<\/span><\/h4>\n

A recent Sculpteo survey <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> that respondents are investing in 3D printing now and plan to spend even more next year. Further, the study validated what many already know. While prototyping is the dominant use case today, it won’t be for long. Production is the holy grail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are you? <\/span><\/h4>\n

Are you considering an investment in 3D printing? Have you already made one? If so, are you thinking about spending more?<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re thinking about how to incorporate 3D printing into your business, or have already made some steps, you\u2019ve got to be strategic. It\u2019s more than just buying equipment. You\u2019ve got to consider the market and how you\u2019ll achieve ROI. You also have to think through the implications on people, process, capital, and other technology initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

500 Days<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re sitting on the fence or waiting for the market to mature, consider this.<\/span><\/p>\n

In just 500 days the entire hearing aid industry converted to 3D printing. Not one company that stuck with traditional methods survived.<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation happens fast. When it does, you\u2019re either part of the steamroller or the pavement.<\/span><\/p>\n

You must act quickly and decisively to defend against disruption.<\/span><\/p>\n
