3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense – Industry Analysis
3D printing became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic for providing replacement parts and alleviating supply chain disruption. However, the slow post-COVID-19 recovery, coupled with the economic shock of the Russia-Ukraine war, has been challenging for the 3D printing industry to navigate through. The macroeconomic and environmental forces shaping the manufacturing landscape will have just as significant an impact on the 3D printing industry’s growth as technological advances.

3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense - Value Chain Analysis
The 3D printing value chain consists of hardware, materials, software, and services.
Hardware: The hardware value chain can be further segmented into metal printers, polymer and ceramic printers, bioprinters, and post-processing machines. Metal printing will be an area of keen interest in the industry over the coming years. In 2022, the launch of new machines, notably by HP, and significant M&A activity by Desktop Metal and Markforged led to growing competition. The polymers, ceramics, and bioprinting sectors are equally competitive as well. In addition, post-processing, which occurs at the end of the 3D printing process, has become increasingly significant. A rising number of organizations consider 3D printing as an industrial-grade manufacturing alternative with accompanying industrial volumes.
