| Routine evidence shows that 3D printing has begun to penetrate every corner of manufacturing, from small medical devices to high-strength aircraft components, but what are the end effects of these changes that will change the company's business model? Gartner, one of the world's best-known research and consulting firms, has also seen evidence of this and has used its expertise and experience to make a series of new predictions about the future of 3D printing. Manufacturing of medical devices, aircraft, consumer products, etc. As part of its '2018 Forecast' report, the firm said that by 2021, 75% of commercial aircraft will use 3D printing components.  The latest 2018 3D print report from Gartner does not address the general statements and the cold data alone. Instead, it looks at three specific industries - medical devices, aircraft and consumer products - that they think 3D printing represents for the entire manufacturing industry. Gartner has more general observations about how the additive manufacturing business is changing, and a big prediction is that 20% of companies will create internal startups to develop new 3D printing solutions by 2021. Allegedly this is already Companies have the best way to face the future challenges that future innovative start-up companies face, and companies like Airbus, BASF and General Electric are already following that pattern. Another way 3D printing is changing the way businesses do business is to add 3D Printing Centers of Excellence (COE) where 3D printing workflows can be integrated into key business processes and provided training to supply chain partners. 3D printing in aerospace Aerospace is still one of the biggest contenders for 3D printing, though it does not currently have a substantial presence in 3D printing companies, mainly because of the huge amounts of money involved in the industry. Additives are currently used to make prototype parts, as well as tools, fixtures, fixings Device or even finished product. Examples of 3D printing in the aerospace industry include GE Aviation's advanced turboprop design, which has converted 855 conventional manufactured parts into 12 3D printed parts and Boeing Co., for aircraft parts at 20 locations in four countries 3D printing Boeing aircraft currently using more than 50,000 3D printing components Gartner predicts that by 2021, 75% of new commercial and military aircraft will be equipped with 3D printed engine parts, fuselage parts and other components. 3D printing in medicine Another big chunk of 3D printing in the world takes place in the medical field, additive manufacturing is used to make implants, medical tools, etc. Almost 3% of large hospitals and medical research facilities now have 3D printing capabilities, but this Numbers may increase. In the coming years, Gartner said, we will see which hospitals are beginning to use 3D printing and how to get started with 3D printing, and most of the technologies are currently teaching hospitals and specialty centers, which Gartner calls 'backend labs', but 3D printers It will soon become prevalent at the forefront of global hospitals. As the number of medical 3D printing devices increases, doctors in turn demand that their hospitals and surgery departments use more 3D printers and additional tools, and by 2021, 25% of surgeons will practice 3D printing models before surgery. 3D printed on consumer goods Consumer goods manufacturers are now enjoying the benefits of 3D printing as a rapid prototyping tool, but with 3D printing, some of the larger industries are embarking on the road to supply chains. Gartner predicts that the addition of local 3D printing facilities will help consumer goods manufacturers reduce their inventories and ultimately save money themselves, however it acknowledges that many consumer products can not benefit from 3D printing and that organizations need to identify where 3D printing is good, Where is not. According to consumer product research, Gartner predicts that by 2021, 20% of the world's top 100 consumer goods companies will use 3D printing to make customized products. 2021 3D Printing Trend Forecasting: 75% of the new commercial and military aircraft use 3D print engines and body parts 25% of surgeons practice anatomical models of 3D printing Twenty percent of the top 100 consumer products companies use 3D printing to make custom products 20% of startups have internal 3D printing 40% of manufacturing companies have excellent 3D printing center |
