3D Printing service Trends in 2022
1.Bright future of 3D printing
In 2021, domestic 3D printing equipment will increase by 27.7% year-on-year, and this rapid growth trend is expected to continue in 2022. The process of 3D printing industrialization is accelerating, and it is expected that there will be more industrialized mass production applications and more industrialized users with more than 50 installed units; at the same time, the upstream and downstream equipment, materials, software, applications, Various elements such as services will also benefit from demand traction and are expected to achieve better development. In addition to aerospace, education, medical, automotive, mold, rapid prototyping Printing will accelerate the development of industrialization.
In 2022, it is predicted that the demand for the 3D printing industry will rebound. Thanks to the stabilization of the global epidemic and the recovery of the domestic and foreign manufacturing industries, the acceptance of 3D printing technology especially suitable for mass manufacturing will increase, and the nylon printing and Metal Printing Process markets will grow significantly.
The technical trend of industrial-grade equipment The improvement of printing efficiency is the main direction. There is a demand for the production line of equipment, and the performance requirements for printing materials tend to be more high-performance and low-cost.
2.The 3D printing industry highly competitive
With the accelerated development of domestic 3D printing in terms of technological innovation and industrialization, market competition will be more adequate, with both opportunities and challenges.
The main forming technologies in the 3D printing industry mainly include Stereolithography process, 3D inkjet printing, and digital light processing. In addition to the foregoing, typical ones are 3DP, SDM, SGC, etc. The mainstream technologies of 3D printing mainly include SLM, SLA, SLS, MJF, and FDM.
3D printers are mainly divided into consumer grade and industrial grade. Industrial-grade 3D printers are faster and more accurate, and are widely used in aerospace, Automotive manufacturing, Additive manufacturing for medical and other fields; with the continuous maturity of artificial intelligence technology, consumer-grade 3D printers are gradually becoming known, attracting the attention of a large number of enterprises and consumers. Consumer-grade 3D printers account for a significant portion of market shipments.
As consumers will be more rational and specialized in 3D printing equipment, price competitiveness will no longer be the most important determining role, and technology, quality, channels and services will become the watershed in determining market competition; secondly, industry applications will become more and more important , users' expectations for industrial applications will become higher and higher, and industrial applications will become more and more extensive and more refined.

The entire 3D printing industry is still developing at a high speed, and the competition will become more and more fierce. We will wait and see in 2022!
3.The Acceleration of 3D printing
Since the development of 3D printing, a large number of leading companies covering various industries have emerged, and they have a large marketing share and influence in subdivided market fields.
From a technical point of view, with the continuous breakthrough of materials, the continuous upgrading of equipment, the 3D printing technology is becoming more and more specialized, providing more complete and professional solutions, changing the original curing thinking of these traditional industries, and launching more optimized production and operating model. The production process will also change with these companies using 3D printing, especially the post-processing equipment for metal printing, which has emerged to solve the shortcomings of post-processing of metal printing. From the perspective of development trends, the policy orientation is also very obvious. Supporting the development of the 3D printing industry, especially equipment and material manufacturers with high technical core, will develop more rapidly with this wave of dividends, and the industry segmentation will also be more obvious.
Under the "double reduction" policy, quality education, STEAM education and other fields have received great attention. The education market has become a major target track for domestic 3D printing companies seeking new growth.
In 2022, facing the education market, a group of companies focusing on the popularization and education of 3D printing will emerge in the industry, and the original 3D printing companies will gradually exert their efforts in the education market and launch targeted education segmentation services.
Entering 2022, the overall industrial-grade additive manufacturing technology is still advancing in the direction of production. It is boldly predicted that the growth rate of the development of 3D printing services will accelerate, and the market segmentation will be more clear.
