DUBLIN, Dec 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the
"Global Aerospace 3D Printing Market 2016-2020" report to their
offering.
The global aerospace 3D printing market to grow at a CAGR of
55.85% during the period 2016-2020.
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects
of the global aerospace 3D printing market for 2016-2020. To
calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue
generated in the overall market from the procurement of aircraft
components and subsystems that are manufactured using 3D printing
technology. The report also includes a discussion of the key
vendors operating in this market.
One of latest trends in the market is influence of 3D printing
on aircraft interiors. 3D printing enables the fabrication of
continuous units, i.e., the features are combined in one part,
which brings down the material usage, extra hardware and
attachment, as well as the overall weight. Some of the components
that can benefit from 3D printing are air ducts, wall panels, and
seat framework, which will make the production of complex
geometries and organic shapes more convenient and lightweight.
These advanced manufacturing processes are expedient when the
carriers want to accommodate more passengers by adding seats.
Furthermore, the use of 3D printing techniques can be employed to
make the panels, overhead compartments, and seat components.
According to the report, one of the primary drivers in the
market is miniaturization of jet engines. 3D printing not only
contributes to the overall weight reduction of the aircraft but
also enables miniaturization of aircraft components. This, in turn,
results in fuel efficiency and a lower operating cost. When a gas
turbine utilizes pulsed injection of fuel instead of a constant
injection, the pressure in both the compressor and combustion
chamber increases. This enables the design of smaller and lighter
compressor systems, which saves a considerable amount of fuel. The
pulsed injection, however, results in periodic blockage and
detonations, and the resultant shock waves affect the other parts
of the engine.
Further, the report states that one major challenge in the
market is 3D printing cannot replace conventional manufacturing.
With greater disruptiveness of the additive manufacturing
technologies, 3D-printed joints are expected to be increasingly
used across the aerospace domain. However, it will not replace
traditional components in all aspects. Instead, it will act as a
high-performance tool with numerous capabilities to improve
conventional methodologies. 3D-printed components are often
produced by joining or fusing two separate, homogeneous materials.
These parts are usually difficult to separate, thus projecting a
challenge during recycling. The proprietary hyper joint' technology
by Airbus represents such a challenge. Airbus is already working
toward developing the most economically viable way of separating
the parts of the joint.
