AM for Satellites Marked as a 3D Printing Growth Opportunity

Additive Manufacturing Research (AM Research) has published a new market study titled “AM for Satellites: a 3D Printing Market Opportunity”. Built on AM Research market data, this report analyzes expansion in satellite launches and the AM industry’s potential to penetrate the market.

Strategic competition between the most industrialized nations—“the new space race”—has led to drastic changes in how satellites are manufactured, driven to no small degree by the AM industry. 

This report forecasts that by 2033 at least half of the parts on launched satellites could be produced with AM. In step, AM Research sees the market for metal AM hardware dedicated to satellite industry production growing more than four times its current size during the same period.

Market data, penetration rates, and forecasting are built using modeling and existing AM Research market data and deepened and contextualized by research and direct interviews with several industry players. The written report comes along with a companion Excel market data file.

Companies and organizations mentioned or profiled include but are not limited to: SpaceX, SWISSto12, NASA, the Department of Defense, Sidus Space, Markforged (Nano Dimension), Thales Alenia Space, Velo3D, and Maxar Technologies.

AM Research’s reports are intended as strategic inputs for all senior executives planning 3D printing product/market strategies and for investors looking to take equity positions in 3D printing firms. AM Research also offers customized consulting and due diligence analysis.
