Looking at the map of all the 3D Printers in the world. Explain why Europe and the USA have the highest concentration of 3D Printers compared to Africa and parts of Asia?

The US remains the global leader in 3D printing, thanks to its early development of the technology and historic leadership in traditional manufacturing. The growth of the technology in the region is also supported by the number of key industry players and the leading number of patents.

3D Printing Trends in Europe versus in America

Explanation: The third edition of the State of 3D Printing gives us a clear view of the evolution of additive manufacturing. For the study conducted by our team between January and March 2017, we received the answers from nearly 1.000 respondents from 62 different countries. The majority comes from Europe (60%) and America (30%). In this article, we will compare the results of our European and American respondents to discover what are the main trends regarding 3D printing for each continent. 1. Applications differ Concerning the 3D printing applications, Americans adopt this digital manufacturing technique mainly for design and production (23% and 17% versus 18% and 14%) while Europeans use it mostly for R&D purposes (26% against 18%). Moreover, when it comes to the benefit of using 3D printing, Europeans and Americans agree that complex geometries (21%) is the principal motivation followed by cost reduction (18% for Europe versus 16% for America).2. Different levels of expertise and integration In fact, Americans indeed have more years of experience in additive manufacturing: 3.13 years versus 2.82 years for Europeans. However, Americans still consider themselves as less experimented than Europeans (20% against 22%). As a result, to gain more expertise, 3D printing is settling more into companies’ programs than in Europe (43% versus 34%). For Americans, price (66%), quality of prints (61%) and materials (46%) are the main standards when choosing a 3D printing service, while Europeans are more concerned about the quality of prints (66%), price (64%) and then materials (48%). Nevertheless, Americans use more external services in order to produce 3D printed parts, whereas Europeans prefer to do it in-house.
