This is a real boom. By the end of this year, sales of 3D printers will grow 100 percent Gazeta.pl

company is a research and consulting company Gartner has estimated that by the end of this year the market will be about 456 thousand UAH. of 3D printers. In 2015. were sold only 219 thousand UAH. for this type of device. Analysts predict sales of 6.7 million printers in 2020.

“the Development of increasingly intuitive software, as well as more cheap printers in combination with a stimulating material that can be used in the 3D printing process, leading to growing interest in this method of fraud – both among consumers and among the owners of industrial,” commented Pete Basiliere), Vice-President of the division of research company Gartner.

Today 3D printing is used primarily in prototypowaniu and productive processes that require a short series of articles that differ from each other in minor ways. The technology of 3D printing is also of interest to educational institutions.

“the education Sector is looking for today’s printers at a price below 2.5 thousand. dollars, which are used at different stages of learning students. Graduates of engineering, familiar with 3D printing to find work, particularly in industry plants, aerospace and robotics,” estimates Basiliere.

Industry finds use for 3D printing, especially at the design stage and at the stage of prototype manufacture, as well as during the product design, giving them using the methods of 3D printing unique features and properties. Analysts Gartnera to experts, in 2020. already 65 percent. industrial production will be carried out with the use of 3D printing.

“the aerospace Sector uses 3D printing for many years to produce a small number of parts and elements with a very sophisticated design. Armed company, in cooperation with the military experience, in turn, the possibility of using 3D printing for the production of key parts outside the factories at sea or in remote bases,” the analyst gartner figures.

the company’s Experts point to the Midnight America and Western Europe as the region in the coming years 3D printing will be used more widely. At the same time return the attention to the fact that countries in the Asia-Pacific region, especially China – 3D printing fit in the strategy of modernization of their production processes. Big demand for solutions for 3D printing will be there to stay, at least until 2020.

Information about the development of the industry of 3D printing was taken from a report titled ‘ Forecast: 3D Printers, Worldwide, 2016, which was published in mid-October, company research Advisory firm Gartner.

Sector 3D printers is developing very dynamically in Poland. At present, the Vistula river has been working for tens of companies that specializiruetsya on the production of such devices. The most popular of them is Zortrax, PrintO, ZMorph if Omni3D.
