Rapid Prototyping
& Manufacturing 2005
From Design to Product — It's Changing Everything
I just returned from the Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing Conference put on by SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers) and can report that the industry as a whole, from the perspectives of vendors and users, is in good health.
The three-day event included a number of excellent presentations and panel discussions. As has become tradition, Terry Wohlers, president of Wohlers Associates and an acknowledged expert in additive fabrication, delivered the keynote presentation. In "State Of The Industry: The Rules Have Changed," Wohlers said rapid prototyping and manufacturing have allowed many companies to invent a new business model to better compete. Sales of products and services for additive technologies were about $705 million in 2004, Wohlers reported, 33% greater than in 2003. And as their installed base grows, system vendors are also generating increasing revenue from consumables.
If you really want comprehensive insight into the rapid prototyping and manufacturing market, consider purchasing the Wohlers Report 2005. You'll find information about the various techniques and technologies, industry statistics, trends and what the future might hold.
