IDTechEx: Independent Research, Intelligence and Events
Since 1999 IDTechEx has provided independent market research, business intelligence and events on emerging technology to clients in over 80 countries.
3D Printing Intelligence as a Service
From the broad range of their services, 3D Printing interests us most. It comprises of a range of technologies based on different physical mechanisms which create a 3 dimensional object. The process is additive, with materials being deposited only where needed, resulting in less material waste and enabling much faster production of low quantity structures.

3D Printing – Opportunity Gap Assessment and What’s Coming
Developed back in the 80s, 3D printing technologies are now experiencing large demand thanks to greater media coverage, lower priced printers, and new technologies and material sets. Today, start-up companies are being sold within years for breath-taking multiples. IDTechEx help clients to see through the bubble and exploit the real opportunities.
