Market Share of Europe 3D Printing Industry
Though the presence of many regional as well as global players in the European region is influencing the 3D printing market, the major chunk of the European market is captured by prominent players. Hence, the market for 3D printing is expected to be consolidated in nature. 3D Systems Corporation, Materialise NV, Stratasys Ltd., ExOne Co., and SLM Solutions Group AG, among others, are some major players in the European market. All these players are involved in competitive strategic developments such as acquisition, partnership, new product development, and market expansion to augment their leadership position in the European 3D printing market.
In October 2022, Safran opened a new additive manufacturing campus in France. Safran's new 12,500 m2 facility houses all the procedures required to create parts utilizing additive manufacturing, from R&D through engineering and production. With cutting-edge equipment, including 3D printers that employ 3D digital images to transform metallic powders into airplane and engine parts, more than 100 top-tier engineers, scientists, and technicians are currently operating at the factory to make components for the whole team.
In July 2022, a European automobile company installed metal 3D printers from SLM Solutions. The customer has over ten machines in its 3D printing fleet, including many SLM 500 and SLM 250 systems. It is believed to be using metal AM to build car elements, emphasizing serial manufacturing.
