Maybe your medical connection ? Good opportunities in medical & dental market
Some of the fastest growth will be seen in the medical and dental market, with especially good opportunities expected in dental applications such as braces, prostheses, crowns, bridges, dental aligners, and models for dental restoration procedures.
Other leading markets for 3D printing products include consumer products (e.g., jewelry, toys, fashion, consumer electronics), automotive, and aerospace, with the latter expected to see above-average growth. For instance, in 2013 General Electric announced plans to use 3D printers to produce fuel nozzles for its next-generation jet engine. These nozzles are expected to be lighter and stronger than those produced using conventional production techniques.
US to continue as largest 3D printing market
The US will remain by far the largest national 3D printing market in the world, accounting for 42 percent of global sales in 2017.
In developed areas such as the US and Western Europe, the 3D printing market value will be supported by the growing presence of metal-based 3D printers for the production of finished parts, as such systems are significantly more expensive than plastics-based 3D printing systems.
Rapid gains are expected in China, where most applications (especially in large markets such as consumer products manufacturing) center around design, sample testing, or proto-typing. Demand in China will also benefit from significant government funding in academic institutions, science and re-search centers, as well as manufacturing companies.
