GERMANY 3D PRINTING MARKET FORECAST 2023-2030

The Germany 3D printing market growth is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 18.93% during the forecast period, 2023-2030, and is predicted to garner a revenue of $6724.88 million by 2030.

Germany is the largest producer of goods in Europe. It is also a pacesetter among developed nations with regard to the use of additive manufacturing. In addition, it is the biggest market in Europe for consumer and industrial 3D printing. Moreover, one-third of major German industrial enterprises deploy 3D printing.

Furthermore, Germany encompasses one-fourth of all additive manufacturing businesses globally. Prominent market players like Henkel, BMW, BASF, and Siemens have made substantial investments in constructing factories to manufacture parts made with additives. Such factors facilitate growth opportunities for the Germany 3D printing market.

The Germany 3D printing market scope includes material type, application, industry vertical, technology, and component. The technology segment includes digital light processing (DLP), selective laser sintering (SLS), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), inkjet printing, stereolithography, polyjet printing, electron beam melting (EBM), laminated object manufacturing (LOM), laser metal deposition (LMD), and fuse deposition modeling (FDM).

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) encompasses the fusion of very thin layers of metal powder through a focused laser beam. It automatically aims the laser at points defined by a 3D model. This helps bind the material together to create a solid structure. This method melts the high-performance metal powder in layers to form near 100% dense parts. Also, DMLS, unlike traditional manufacturing practices, produces objects free of residual stresses. In addition, the objects manufactured do not have internal defects.

Further, DMLS generates hard-wearing but extremely complex components that find suitable aerospace applications. This is also attributed to the growing need for sustainable energy efficiency and continuous demand for innovation in the aerospace industry. Besides, titanium mandible implants and bone screws are manufactured using DMLS technology. These find application in the medical sector, given the biocompatibility of certain metals like silver, gold, and titanium & its alloys.

Whereas inkjet printing’s additive manufacturing approach is based on the 2D printer technology of depositing small ink drops onto paper using a jet. The ink is replaced by wax and thermoplastic elements and melted during the additive process. Upon printing these materials, liquid droplets cool off quickly and solidify to form a layer of components. As a result, the procedure is also called thermal phase change inkjet printing.

Moreover, inkjet provides great surface qualities and accuracy. The applications of inkjet printing include high-precision products, medical equipment, and jewelry. Several manufacturers have produced different inkjet printing machines. For instance, Solidscape Inc inkjet printers like ModelMaker (MM) employ a single jet for build material and another for support material. Additionally, 3D Systems has integrated its MultiJet Modeling (MJM) technology into its ThermoJet Modeler machines.

Furthermore, electron beam melting (EBM) uses a high-energy electron beam to melt layers of powdered metal to generate a form within a vacuum. It is comparatively faster than conventional manufacturing methods. In addition, it is considered a superior technology to traditional casting and forging techniques. The EBM process is ideal for applications requiring high-temperature resistance and strength.

Some of the key firms operating in the Germany 3D printing market include EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems (EOS), Covestro AG, BASF SE (BASF 3D Printing Solutions GmbH), etc.

BASF SE provides coatings, catalysts, performance chemicals, dispersions & pigments, monomers, performance materials, intermediates, etc. It operates through six segments, agricultural solutions, nutrition and care, surface technologies, industrial solutions, materials, and chemicals. It caters to agriculture, health & nutrition, electronics, consumer goods, construction, energy & resources, and transportation industries. The company operates in the Middle East & Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, with headquarters in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany.
