2.1 MARKET DRIVERS 3D PRINTING INDUSTRY MARKET DRIVERS AND ITS IMPACT
Drivers 1-2 Years 2-5 Years 5-10 Years Reduction in turnaround time and accelerated product-development cycles Decreasing price of consumer / personal printers Improving quality of professional and industrial printers (both in process and material) Mass customization and personalization Country specific push factors (government support and funding, localization and environmental impact) Industry specific adoption and more acceptable use cases New emerging business models and competitive disruptions Environmental and economical dynamics

Source: Expert Interview, BIS Research Analysis
2.1.1.1 Reduction in Turnaround Time & Accelerated Product Development Cycles
3D printing is on its way to becoming the ubiquitous solution for prototyping. 3D printing enables companies to make prototypes without tooling, thereby helping companies to get customer feedback faster and better. This has not only cut short the time to develop prototypes in a cost effective way but has also allowed companies to test different configurations in order to determine customers preference, thus reducing product-launch risk and time to market. 3D printers are increasingly being deployed to speed up the creation of product prototypes. As compared to high-end rapid prototyping (RP) machines, 3D printers offer a better price to performance ratio. While a high- end RP machine may cost somewhere around $XXXX to $XXXX, a 3D printer capable of delivering the same performance can be procured for a lesser amount (SLA for $XXXX to $XXXX; SLS for $XXXX to $XXXX and FDM for $XXXX to $XXXX). Furthermore, companies such as Stratasys and Z Corp are offering printers for prototyping at a price tag as low as $XXXX. Industry experts believe that 3D printing will see widespread adoption in prototyping with decreasing price, increasing throughput, and performance. Currently, being an economical and effective tool for early design and visualization models, 3D printing is making inroads in advanced areas such as functional prototyping. Industry experts opine that the use of 3D printing will contribute to significant reductions in product-development cycle times in the coming years, and will probably disrupt the approach of the companies towards R&D. As such it is expected to emerge as a key growth enabler for 3D industry.

2.1.1.2 Decreasing Pr ice of Consumer/Personal Pr inters
For quite a long time price has been a restraining factor for printers, especially in the consumer
segment. With the falling price of consumer printers, there is a renewed interest from the
developers, hobbyists and other enthusiasts. A consumer grade printer is being sold at as low
as $XXXX. This is expected to decrease further in the next few years, with expiring patent and
increasing competition. Moreover companies are increasingly exploring options to generate
revenue from aftermarket services and products, such as material and system upgrade.
Successful implementation of such revenue model would make the personal printer more
affordable.

Advantages Disadvantages Parts produced are mechanically stable due to durability of materials used An extra step of polishing is required to give fine touch Inexpensive printers due to expiry of patents Profit margin is less and barrier to entry is more because of its wide usage

4 MATERIALS MARKET
4.1 PLASTIC
Right from the outset of 3D printing technology, plastic holds a major share of the material market. Different varieties of plastics have been developed that employ technologies such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Selective Heat Sintering (SHS), among others. The two types of plastic that are in major use in the 3D printing industry include Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and Polylactic acid (PLA). Both are thermoplastics, which become soft post heating and can be molded. Further on cooling they return back to their initial solid form. A plastic material before its usage as a 3D printing material needs to satisfy three stage test as enumerated below:
FIGURE 2 THREE STAGES OF TEST FOR THE USABILITY OF A PLASTIC MATERIAL

The first stage includes its formation of plastic filament which is a raw 3D printer feedstock. Secondly, during 3D printing process it should form accurate physical parts. Thirdly, the properties of final product should match the standards compared to conventional methods of manufacturing in terms of properties such as strength, durability, etc. Most of the thermoplastics like ABS, and PLA are capable of forming plastic filaments to be used in the next two stages. However, the range of plastic material would increase only after further research which would make the use of other plastics economical.
4.2 OTHERS
4.2.1 WAX
3D printing technology is using wax for production of casting patterns to be used in investment casting process. 3D Systems uses thermojet wax modeling system. This method is similar to Stereo lithography (SLA) and material being employed is wax like resin. While using wax a support structure is required for any overhanging geometry which is later removed during post finishing process. Since, support structure can be removed easily; option of building complex geometry is possible. The casting pattern is used in the jewelry sector. These patterns can also be used to build complex hollow components. The wax pattern is electroplated using metals followed by melting of wax to produce thin walled hollow metal component. The application can be used to build medium to large parts for aerospace, engine, energy, and others. The casting pattern is generally made using injection molding system that costs around $XXXX to $XXXX with a lead time of around XX months. However, Stratasys has employed its patented FDM technology, thereby reducing the cost by more than XX percent and reducing time by more than XX percent.

3D PRINTING / ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING MARKET SHARE
BY REGION-2013
Sample Figure
Source: Expert IInput, BIS Analysis
In terms of the numbers of printers being used, the U.S. continues to be the largest market
while Germany leads the way in terms of production of 3D printing systems. It is expected that
the U.S. will continue to remain the most important 3D printing market accounting for over
XX% of the total global sales in 2022. In countries such as the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Japan
and other developed countries the growth momentum will be sustained by increasing adoption
of metal based 3D printers. These metal based printers are expected to penetrate through the
key application verticals, namely aerospace and automotive and impact the production of
finished parts in other verticals. However, high cost premium attached with metal 3D printer is
seen as a growth dampener.

6.1.1 CHINA
3D Printing is expected to witness rapid growth in the country owing to push from the
government funding in academic and research institutions and pull from the demand in
electronic manufacturing and consumer product s. Most application in these industries is
centered on design, sample testing and prototyping and as such the penetration of 3D printers
across these verticals is expected to increase significantly.
Chinese government has initiated a number of projects such as “National High Technology
Research and Development Program” allocating investment of $XX million for 3D printing
research. This research project focuses upon the development of laser melting machines for
large aerospace parts, and laser sintering equipment for complex parts.

Source: Experts Input, BIS Research Analysis
As shown in table above the major factor which restricts the entry of new players in the market are stringent IP protection imposed by the existing players, and high R&D expense in the industry. Since its inception, 3D printing industry has been driven by innovation. This entails huge investment in research so that the technology and, consequently, the industry can mature up to a stage where the activities can be commercialized and scaled up. Another factor that makes the entry of new players difficult in market is the inability of 3D printing to attain

the economy of scale. Likewise intellectual property (IP) protection which is considered to be the driver for any market has proved to be a growth barrier for this industry. Key players have filed lawsuits against small players preventing them from growing in this market. Nevertheless, high market growth rate backed by government support and the enthusiasm shown by key industrial players are promoting the proliferation of startups in the industry. Also, this industry necessarily does not rely on traditional supply chains and has easy access to the distribution channel. Instead it combines manufacturing with e-commerce which means designing can be done in a central location while products can be sold through online platforms like those of Shapeways. These factors are assisting new players to enter the market and become potential threats to the existing players. As the industry is not highly capital intensive or excessively dependent on labour, it becomes relatively easier for new players to enter the market.

9.3 STRATASYS
9.3.1 ANALYST INSIGHTS
Stratasys has been involved in a number of mergers but the benefits derived out of it seems to be limited due to legal restriction which led to limited integration planning prior to merger. Stratasys is facing difficulty in coordinating its organizations which are geographically not contiguous, including its two headquarters in Israel and the U.S. This coordination difficulty encompasses within it sales, distribution and marketing sectors. Managing large number of employees over wide geographical region and inconsistency over different companies standards, controls and policies is also proving to be a bone of contention for them. This is adversely affecting their ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, distributors, customers and employees. 2013 as experts call it as the year of 3D printing has witnessed large number of mergers and acquisitions. If these acquisitions of other companies strategically taken and pursued in the 3D printing industry having greater resources than Stratasys can cause trouble for its demand of products and services. The competitors of Stratasys, like 3D Systems Corporation, is an old player having greater financial, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and other resources. So they can quickly respond to the emerging technologies Stratasys could not diversify its supplier of different components that may result in shortage of some key components, or reduction in quality and other associated factors due to their dependency on limited number of vendors. Uncertainty in global economy, problems faced by financial service sector and credit market and other macroeconomic factors has made end-users to further delay or reduce technology purchases. A huge market base of Stratasys lies in Europe which has been continuously facing the shadow of economic crisis. Tightening monetary measures adopted by countries across the globe and aversion of investors to invest in such a volatile situation has resulted in lower levels of liquidity that makes it difficult for them to expand their business further.
