High quality 3D prints are the result of an optimized alignment of hardware, software and materials. In recent years, the hardware and software have become more reliable, accessible and established within enterprise settings, and with that, the industry has seen a growing global demand for sophisticated, industrial-grade materials. This demand has grabbed the attention of many large plastics companies that see an opportunity to enter the market and collaborate with 3D printing manufacturers to create materials that can be used throughout the entire product development cycle. In 2019, we will continue to see major innovations in the materials space, which will ultimately make a positive impact on the overall adoption of 3D printing in manufacturing. Some of the best-known companies in the world for polymer materials are starting to take the same materials that have been used in injection molding for years and adopt them for 3D printing.” Tags: Industry Predictions |
