1. Functional Inkjet Inks for Digital Fabrication Applications -2011
ReportsnReports.com adds MarketsandMarkets Market Research Report “Functional Inkjet
Inks for Digital Fabrication Applications -2011’’ to its store.
This new report is designed to analyze and quantify the market opportunities for materials
firms, ink makers and the specialty chemical industry that are emerging form the use of
inkjet technology for manufacturing products and prototypes.
NanoMarkets notes that digital fabrication as a whole has been received considerable
attention over the past year or so and for a number of reasons. It is an additive technology
it is less wasteful of materials and because it can rapidly produce highly customized
products it is already widely used as a way to reduce costs and speed up prototyping in the
aerospace, automobile, semiconductor, and other industries. The unique ability of digital
fabrication to customize has also made it a staple technology in niches where this is critical;
decorative lampshades are an example. And at the policy level, digital fabrication has
variously been seen as a way to help industrialize lesser developed countries and to
reindustrialize nations that have adopted service economies.
The many advantages of digital manufacturing has lead both The Economist and Wired to
predict that a digital manufacturing revolution is just around the corner and, should this
turn out to be case, there is little doubt that industrial inkjet technology will be key to this
revolution’s success. “Jetted fabrication” offers many unique advantages. It can support
deposition and patterning of many different kinds of materials, for example. It can also
create very small features, enabling quite sophisticated end products to be fabricated. In
addition, jetting is a well understood and relatively low cost printing technology, which will
lower the barriers to entry to digital fabrication markets.
As the office and home printer markets for inkjet become fully saturated, many in the inkjet
business have seen new opportunities in digital fabrication. This is already a major
preoccupation for makers of equipment and print heads and service bureau. However, the
opportunities for ink makers and specialty chemical companies that are inherent in jetted
manufacturing may not be as apparent.
With this in mind, NanoMarkets is publishing this report, which is designed to guide firms to
where the ink-related new business potential is to be found. It examines the key ink-types
that will make money over the coming decade for functional printing as well as a time table
for the emerging markets for these materials. As with all NanoMarkets reports, this report
contains a granular eight-year forecast of inks for jetted fabrication as well as an analysis of
the firms active in this space.
