Aerospace 3D Printing Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The improved parts performance with weight reduction is notably driving the aerospace 3D printing market growth, although factors such as restriction for buildup envelope and product size may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the aerospace 3D printing industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Aerospace 3D Printing Market Driver
The improved parts performance with weight reduction is one of the key drivers supporting the aerospace 3D printing market growth. With 3D printing, it is feasible to produce lightweight structures for prototyping the final product. The technology enables the creation of intricate geometries that can drastically reduce the weight of a component while maintaining its structural strength. The reduction in weight helps designers achieve lower material costs, along with fuel savings. In the aerospace industry, reducing the overall weight of components is crucial to lowering fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. On that note, Airbus is trying to attain certification for its lighter cabin partitions. Hence, the newly developed design for the A320 partition weighs 66.13 pounds less than the traditional one, indicating a 45% reduction in weight. Such developments are anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Aerospace 3D Printing Market Trend
Combining 3D printing with traditional manufacturing is another factor supporting the aerospace 3D printing market growth. For instance, Siemens offers the new NX Hybrid additive manufacturing software that uses conventional manufacturing and additive manufacturing for production. It is a hybrid process that combines conventional processes such as boring, milling, and grinding with additive manufacturing such as 3D printing. The company used the laser deposition process for building burner heads of gas turbines with metal powder. The burner was developed in innovative shapes, including honeycomb. It allowed the conversion of a solid structure to a hollow shape, with relative weight savings. Thus, the hybrid process helped reduce the manufacturing time by 90% and increased the dimensional accuracy of the component. Such recent technological improvements in 3D printers that can work with metal and aluminum will likely increase the acceptance of these printers in this industry.
Key Aerospace 3D Printing Market Challenge
Restriction for buildup envelope and product size is one of the factors hindering the aerospace 3D printing market growth. Most technologies offer systems with a limited building scope, which makes 3D printing applicable for only small components. This is applicable to almost all 3D printing processes, but the major issue in aircraft is with the powder bed fusion process, a widely applied technology for metal printing. Moreover, the biggest building scope for standard metal printing with the powder fusion bed process measures 0.8X0.4X0.5 m. There is a possibility to customize machines for customers, but this incurs high costs. The aerospace industry is focusing on upgrading the current technology for the printing of larger products. For instance, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Boeing holds a world record for manufacturing the largest solid 3D-printed object called the trim and drill tool, which is used to create the wings of Boeing's Next-Generation 777X jet. Thus, the inability of 3D printers to produce large components hinders its wide-scale adoption in the aerospace industry.
This aerospace 3D printing market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
