Market Definition
Canada Additive Manufacturing (AM) Market was valued at USD 1.04 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 4.67 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 20.6% from 2023 to 2030. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as additive layer manufacturing (ALM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing is a computer-controlled process that creates 3D objects by depositing materials, usually in layers. This process was also known as rapid prototyping because it enabled to create a scale model of the final object quickly, without the regular arrangement interaction and costs associated with making a model. Additive manufacturing uses data, computer-aided design (CAD) software or 3D object scanners to direct hardware for depositing materials layer upon layer, in precise geometric shapes. In order to create an object using additive manufacturing, a design must be created first.
This is typically done using CAD software, or by taking a scan of the object, which is to be printed. Then the design is translated by software into a layer-by-layer framework for the additive manufacturing machine to follow. This framework is sent to the 3D printer, which begins creating the object immediately. The actual process of additive manufacturing can be done in a number of ways, which can take from several hours to several days, depending on the object’s size. Depending on the ALM printing process and application, this process can utilize a growing catalog of materials including metal alloys, thermoplastics, thermoset polymers, and composites.
High Adoption of 3D Digital Printing or Additive Manufacturing in Canada
The widespread adoption of 3D digital printing in the architecture and construction sector, by utilizing 3D digital printing technology is expected to boost the growth of the additive manufacturing market. As the architecture and construction sector can efficiently create structures and concept models, resulting in faster construction timelines and reduced material waste.
Government Initiatives Boosting Additive Manufacturing Growth in Canada
The rising Canadian government’s initiatives to develop the additive manufacturing industry drives the growth of the market. For instance, in March 2022, Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED) announced a non?repayable contribution of USD 3,625 over three years to support a virtual networking platform dedicated to helping Quebec manufacturers. This new platform will increase awareness of additive manufacturing in Quebec and the development programs and services available in the field.
High-Cost Restraining Additive Manufacturing in Canada
The substantial initial investment required for infrastructure, including 3D printers, materials, and software, acts as a significant cost barrier. SMEs with limited financial resources find it challenging to embrace additive manufacturing fully. Thus, it is expected to restrain the growth of the additive manufacturing market.
