Research and Markets: 2014 3D Printing Market Overview : Annual Market Findings

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mcvz2m/3d_printing_2014) has announced the addition of the "3D Printing 2014: Annual Market Findings" report to their offering.

In 2013, 3D printing grew up. World-class manufacturers shifted their 3D printing focus from rapid prototyping to rapid manufacturing; Some of largest consumer firms - Amazon, HP, Microsoft (News - Alert), Staples and UPS - began to pursue 3D opportunities; New commercialization directions for 3D-printed medical and dental implants and prosthetics accelerated. Meanwhile, the IPO and M&A acquisition activity continued apace.

In this report, the author provides an insider perspective on the latest 3D printing opportunities in this dynamic market environment. We pinpoint where the smart money will go in the 3D printing sector and how firms will be changing their business models and processes to profit from 3D printing.

3D printer firms: the ones that the author sees shaping the 3D printing idustry going forward. The report then continues with 10-year projections and market analysis for all the leading sectors in which 3D printing is being deployed. Applications areas covered include: medical, dental, aerospace, automotive, and personal/educational. The reader of this report will find an application-by-application assessment of the opportunities for 3D printing including comprehensive and granular ten-year forecasts of hardware, software, and services.

Among the questions that this report answers are:

• How quickly is 3D printing really being adopted in key sectors such as medical, dental, aerospace? And what will be 3D printing's disruptive effects be as it penetrates these markets?
