Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The improved part performance with weight reduction is notably driving the commercial aerospace 3d printing market growth, although factors such as restriction for build-up 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 commercial 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 Commercial Aerospace 3D Printing Market Driver
The improved part performance with weight reduction is a major factor driving the global commercial aerospace 3D printing market share growth. 3D printing technology has provided designers with the freedom to explore complex part designs that can deliver maximum performance. It also facilitates the integration of parts. As conventional methods are required to check for the feasibility in product manufacturing, designers must consider the manufacturing constraints involved. 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 for lowering fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. On that note, Airbus is trying to attain certification for its lighter cabin partition. Experts from Airbus Group's subsidiary, APWorks, and Autodesk developed and reinvented different design variants and finalized a version that mimics the bone and cell structure. Such factors and innovations will drive the growth of the market.
Key Commercial Aerospace 3D Printing Market Trend
Combining 3D printing with traditional manufacturing is another factor supporting the global commercial aerospace 3D printing market share growth. The trend of 3D printing is in its initial phase of development, but it has a wide impact on several manufacturing industries. Researchers have paired traditional manufacturing with 3D printing and are anticipating greater profitability with this combination. 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 like 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 such as honeycomb. It allowed the conversion of a solid structure to a hollow shape, with relative weight savings. Further, conventional manufacturing such as grinding, polishing, and buffing was used to build high-precision parts. Recent technological improvements in 3D printers that can work with metal and aluminum will likely increase their acceptance in this industry.
Key Commercial Aerospace 3D Printing Market Challenge
The restrictions for build-up envelope and product size will be a major challenge for the global commercial aerospace 3D printing market share growth during the forecast period. An aircraft consists of very large components, and the acceptance of 3D printing will depend on how these products can be produced using the technology. 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 powder bed fusion process a widely applied technology for metal printing. 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 printing large 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. The inability of 3D printers to produce large components hinders its wide-scale adoption in the aerospace industry.
