We want to give them a hand to deal with the challenges they encounter, in any way that we can, like providing in providing them the best 3D printing materials and technologies, especially the most innovative ones. We even launched a consulting and design activity, called Sculpteo Studio, to guide businesses in their use of this incredible technology. And of course, providing them valuable insights through the State of 3D printing is part of this objective.But we also put a lot of efforts in shaping the future of additive manufacturing. That’s why, for instance, we lead ambitious research projects. That’s also why we launched our own 3D printing software, Fabpilot, to share the powerful tools we created in-house to run our factories. We strongly believe that education and information are key in the development of the 3D printing industry. That’s why we decided to provide useful data to anyone interested in additive manufacturing, conducting this study with 1000 respondents.Who are they ? Professionals from multiple industries, that innovate and produce thanks to 3D printing. They told us how they use additive manufacturing, why they use it, if they’re successful or not, and they tried to foresee the future of this technology through their use of it. I personally want to thank all of them for sharing their views with us.The results of the study make me quite confident about the future of 3D printing. Indeed, companies invest more and more in this technology and the vast majority of them see it as a true competitive advantage. My strong vision that additive manufacturing is a powerful production method is also confirmed by our respondents. All of this really makes me want to see how the whole industry will evolve in the upcoming years. No doubt it will be game-changing.I wish you an instructive and pleasant reading of this 4th edition !Clement Moreau CEO of SculpteoCLÉMENT MOREAU CEO & FounderForewordIntroductionPage4The state of 3D printing 2018Survey DemographicsIntroductionOur annual State of 3D Printing allows for the 3D printing industry to define itself by collecting data. With these findings, you will know what is expected of the future of 3D printing along with knowing the new trends that we saw come into existence during the previous year. We conducted the survey for one year and we received over a 1,000 respondents. The industry segmentation of the respondents varied a lot but we can see that most are dedicated to Industrial Goods (17 %), Consumer Goods (12 %), Aeronautical or Aerospace industry (7 %) and Healthcare (6 %). In last year’s study, most respondents identified themselves as the owner/CEO of their organization followed by Engineers. This year, both segments have the same percentage of 29 %.As for age, we can see a bit of decrease of 6 % in the 30-54 segment compared to last year, showing that the use of 3D printing is growing in younger age segments. As for the gender of our respondents, compared to last year, there is an increase in women by 4 percent. Geographically, 60 % of the respondents came from Europe and 25 % came from the United States.1000+ RESPONDENTSAmerica25 %Africa1 %Europe60 %Asia & Oceania9 %SECTORSEducation / Student6 %Mechanic & metal5 %Aeronautic& aerospace7 %Automati...
