Netherlands Additive Manufacturing (AM) Market was valued at USD 0.26 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 1.19 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 21.1% from 2023 to 2030. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing or additive layer manufacturing (ALM), is a computer-controlled process that builds 3D objects by depositing materials, typically in layers. It utilizes data from computer-aided design (CAD) software or 3D object scanners to guide the hardware in depositing materials in precise geometric shapes. To create an object using additive manufacturing, a design is first created using CAD software or by scanning an existing object. The design is then translated into a layer-by-layer framework using software, which serves as instructions for the additive manufacturing machine. The framework is sent to a 3D printer, which immediately begins the process of creating the object. Additive manufacturing can be executed through various methods, and the duration of the process depends on the size of the object, ranging from several hours to several days.
In the Netherlands, the additive manufacturing market is experiencing growth propelled by the expansion of businesses, notable levels of innovation, and research and development initiatives undertaken by start-ups in the region. These factors have contributed to the widespread adoption of additive manufacturing technologies across various industries in the Netherlands. For instance, in January 2019, a consortium of European companies started the first house 3D printing factory, in the Netherlands. A few years ago, there were just a few small, isolated start-ups, such as Enrico Dini's D-Shape and Behrokh Khoshnevis' Contour Crafting. At present, it is claimed that there are hundreds of 3D printing projects in the country.
The additive manufacturing market in the Netherlands is experiencing growth due to the presence of local manufacturers who are adopting diverse strategies and making investments to expand their market presence and business. These efforts have propelled the overall growth of the additive manufacturing market within the country. For instance, in April 2021, MX3D revealed that it raised $2.69 million to introduce the M1 additive manufacturing system, which consists of a welding robot, software, and control systems to 3D-print metal products.
The integration of additive manufacturing technology faces challenges due to the substantial upfront investment required to establish the necessary infrastructure, which includes 3D printers, materials, and software. This cost barrier becomes particularly intimidating for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with limited financial resources, impeding their ability to fully embrace additive manufacturing. Consequently, this is anticipated to impede the growth of the additive manufacturing industry and restrain the expansion of the market.
Continuous technological advancements have been a driving force behind the remarkable growth observed in the additive manufacturing industry. These advancements span multiple areas, such as improved printing capabilities, advancements in materials, and more efficient post-processing techniques. As a result, the market has experienced notable enhancements in output quality, reduced manufacturing cycles, and expanded opportunities for application across various sectors. The ongoing progress in additive manufacturing technology has opened up numerous pathways for market development, leading to greater acceptance and utilization of this innovative technology.
The additive manufacturing industry includes several market players such as Stratasys, Markforged Holding Corporation, Desktop Metal Inc., Velo3d, Inc., Formlabs Inc., Protolabs., Xometry Inc., Shapeway Holdings Inc., D Systems, General Electric. These market players are adopting various strategies such as partnership to maintain their dominance in the market of Netherlands.
For instance, in May 2022, MakerBot and Ultimaker, two prominent players in the desktop 3D printing industry, have recently announced a business combination agreement. This agreement aims to expedite the widespread adoption of additive manufacturing by offering a comprehensive desktop 3D printing ecosystem encompassing hardware, software, and materials. They aim to provide a seamless and integrated experience for users, enabling them to leverage the full potential of desktop 3D printing.
