has announced the addition of the "Opportunities for 3D Printing
Precious Metals: Jewelry and Other Applications " report to their
offering.
The author believes that 3D printing of gold, silver, platinum
and precious metal alloys will present important opportunities for
the 3D printing community in the near future.
- 3D printing has been of growing importance in the jewelry
industry for a decade and we are about see 3D printing enter new
territory; directly fabricated jewelry, timepiece components, and
accessories made from precious metal powder
- We also expect new opportunities for 3D-printed precious
metals to emerge in the medical/dental and electronics sectors. For
example, 3D printers can be used with additive-appropriate gold
alloy powders as a result of increasing awareness of complications
developing from use of less-inert gold substitutes
- The budding area of 3D-printed electronics are expected to use
silver and gold inks for customized and short run fabrication of
antennas and PCBs
This new report identifies the market opportunities for
3D-printed precious metals and provides ten-year forecasts for them
in both volume (Kgs) and value ($millions) terms. Breakouts by type
of metal and application are also included as are product/market
assessments of the leading equipment and service players in this
space.
Readers of this report will gain insight into the established
market for printed jewelry casts, directly fabricated jewelry and
consumer products utilizing precious metal materials, as well as
emerging uses for the 3D printing of precious metal powders and
compatible precious metal materials.
Coverage includes:
- Analysis of applicable print technologies, materials,
printers, and market leaders
- Market opportunity segmentation by application, print
technology, and material type
- Quantified scenario analysis for emerging trends in 3D
printable precious metals
- Survey of relevant supply chains for 3D printed jewelry and
consumer products utilizing precious metals
