Global 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing Market Report 2016 - Products, Use Cases and Market Potential - Research and Markets

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing" report to their offering.

This report showcases a startling range of manufacturing innovations that are being enabled by 3D printing technology. Also included in an analysis of the main forces driving the market as will as the main barriers. The report also analyses how in the future the steadily increasing performance of 3D printers and 3D scanning will create a whole new category of copyright problems that will affect sectors like art, toys and film.

GE, Boeing and Airbus and others are already using 3D printers to manufacture parts which are being used in commercial products. In these and many other cases the 3D-printed parts offer a combination of performance, features and weight that lies beyond the reach of existing manufacturing technologies.

For the future, Goodyear has proposed a 3D-printed spherical tyre that has no physical contact with the car chassis - suspended by magnetic levitation - and would allow the car to move sideways while the tread could be customized to individual geographies or even drivers. Meanwhile, researchers and startups are working to create functional human limbs and replacement organs - by depositing layers of living cells onto a gel.
