Metal 3D printing is rushing!
At present, the development and application of 3D printing technology is quite common. Among them, the metal 3D printing field is the fastest growing, which has a huge demand for related metal printing materials. Many companies are rushing to invest in the research and production of metal powder. The industry expects that the global 3D printed metal powder market will exceed $5 billion by 2025, much higher than the $250 million in 2016. At the same time, the market for metal 3D printing equipment has also begun to take shape, and large industrial companies have invested in building metal 3D printing equipment.

The rapid development of metal 3D printing, the growing demand for metal powder, the industry as a major investment opportunity, attracting hundreds of millions of new investment inflows. In fact, large-scale manufacturing, such as aerospace and automation industry production, has been involved in metal 3D printing technology in addition to 3D printing.
Metal 3D printing uses metal powders to make a variety of products, including medical implants made of titanium and nickel alloys. The US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla founder Musk, the aerospace equipment manufacturer SpaceX, uses these parts.
The market size is expected to exceed 39 billion
Metal 3D printing will inevitably be widely used in the next few decades, and the demand for aluminum metal powder, cobalt metal powder, and other industrial metal powders will certainly grow rapidly. Alcoa is looking for business opportunities. Last year, it announced the opening of a 3D printed metal powder plant in Pittsburgh, USA, with an investment of about 600 million US dollars to produce 3D printing powders such as titanium, nickel and aluminum for the aerospace industry. Research firm IDTechEx expects that the global 3D printing powder market will exceed US$5 billion (approximately HK$39 billion) by 2015, far exceeding the US$250 million in 2016.
Due to the metal powder supplied by only a few manufacturers around the world, it is suitable for 3D printing technology requirements, attracting enterprises to expand the metal powder business and welcoming the future 3D printing era. One of them is Sweden's 3D printing manufacturer Arcam, which is based on Canadian metal powder. AP&C, a plant in Montreal, invested more than $30 million to build an automated plant to supply metal powder to the 3D printing industry. Others include HCStarck in Germany and PyroGenesis in Canada, all of which are keen to expand the 3D printing metal powder business. GE also invested in 3D metal printing materials and bought a stake in Concept Laser in Germany for about $600 million last year.
Benefiting from the demand for 3D printed metal powder, industrial metal prices rebounded from the low level in early 2016. Investors are optimistic about future growth prospects, and nickel and aluminum prices have risen by more than 10%. According to KPMG consultants, about 53% of global metal companies have investment or research and development plans, about 40% consider investment, and most metal companies are looking for a suitable time to further expand 3D metal printing related business. BHP Billiton and Iluka Resources, the world's largest mining companies, invested in metal powder producer Metalysis. This metal powder manufacturer expects 3D printed metal powder to fall?

At the same time, metal 3D printing is widely used, and metal 3D printers are also seen as another investment opportunity. The sales of such metal 3D printers continue to rise. At present, each unit sells for more than 500,000 US dollars. The annual output is only a few hundred. It can be expected to benefit from the metal 3D printing trend. The function and price of metal 3D printers will be more advantageous in the next few years.
