Competition Is Heating Up In The Additive Manufacturing Market

It seems 3D printing, long heralded as the “next big thing” for manufacturing, has finally come into its own.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the rise of the little guy, as the number of manufacturers producing and selling 3D printers has grown to nearly 100 manufacturers this past year, up from 62 in 2015 and just 49 back in 2014, according to a new report from Wohlers Associates Inc., the leading additive manufacturing and 3D printing consultancy.
