What does 3D printing look like in 2036? To find out, we asked dozens of industry leaders, CEOs, founders, CTOs, and analysts from across the additive manufacturing ecosystem to look beyond the immediate horizon and share their longer-term forecasts. The result is a panoramic view of an industry in transition.
The picture that emerges is striking not for its boldness, but for its convergence. Across companies of different sizes, geographies, and specialisms, a clear consensus is taking shape: the era of 3D printing as a novelty technology is drawing to a close. What replaces it is something far more consequential: additive manufacturing as standard industrial infrastructure, embedded in certified production workflows such as CNC machining or injection molding today.
