3D printing of hybrid components

While 3D printing of hybrid components represents a niche market, it entails interesting insights for the deployment and commercialisation of 3D printed products. The value chain of metal 3D printing hybrid components entails many SMEs that are interested in developing 3D printing-based applications, but an increasing degree of maturity and automation of post processing is needed to stimulate the uptake of 3D printing technologies.

The report aims to provide an overview of relevant stakeholders to see how ATI based products can help EU industry to stay ahead of global competition. The objective is to map the key players in the metal 3D printing value chain, as well as to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
