Which key drivers are propelling the aerospace 3d printing market’s growth?

The growth of the aerospace 3D printing market is propelled by the increasing need for lightweight parts and components from the aerospace industry. The lightweight design, which is well-known and applied across various industries most importantly in aerospace, is affiliated with the green aviation concept. 3D printing facilitates the establishment and usage of several lightweight prototypes, which allow designers to enhance the shape and suitability of completed parts in the aerospace industry. For example, a predicted weight reduction of 20% in a Boeing 787 could result in fuel efficiency improvement of 10 to 12%. Lightweight parts not only reduce the carbon footprint but also enhance operational efficiency such as improved acceleration, higher structural resilience, and superior protection performance. Hence, the escalating demand for lightweight parts and components from the aerospace sector boosts the expansion of the aerospace 3D printing market.
