The application of composite 3D printing The application of composite 3D printing
Additive manufacturing is currently still hampered by factors such as productivity, mix of materials available, training and expertise requirements, and scale compared to traditional manufacturing
.
While the manufacturing floor remains a potentially favorable area with clear added value, with the emergence of new solutions and the potential of this technology in high-value industries such as aerospace and medical, composite printers can not only replace metal parts , and can also drive design improvements
.
And many companies are finding that bringing the technology in-house reduces supplier costs and inventory challenges associated with replacement parts

.
Although the installed volume of composite 3D printers is currently much smaller than that of polymer printers, the future growth trend is very obvious
.
Existing polymer printers can often use partial composites, but the loading percentage is very low and there are some limitations
.
The growing installed base will generate substantial follow-on sales of materials, software and services, which will quickly outpace hardware sales
