Particularly well-suited for crafting intricate and customized components essential in the healthcare sector, such as medical devices and implants, metal PBF additive manufacturing is witnessing a surge in adoption. Its applications extend to dental implants, where dental professionals leverage its accuracy and rapid production capabilities. Consequently, an increasing number of dental practitioners are transitioning to metal PBF technologies. Furthermore, the healthcare domain boasts several other applications for metal PBF additive manufacturing. The rising embrace of 3D printing within healthcare contexts is anticipated to steer the growth of the global metal powder bed fusion market throughout the forecast period.

Major Challenge

The high production costs of metal PBF additive manufacturing are challenging market growth. The production cost of metal PBF technology is influenced by the expenses associated with machinery and metal powders. Small coarse-grain metal powders, including aluminium, steel, and iron, come with elevated costs. The cost of powders hinges on factors like the type of metal, its purity, and particle size. This financial aspect presents challenges, especially for industries like aerospace and defence grappling with budget constraints. Consequently, these sectors may explore alternative manufacturing approaches. Furthermore, the limited build capabilities of current technologies impose a hurdle. Sizeable components produced through metal PBF additive manufacturing necessitate supplementary processes like mechanical joining and welding. Hence, the substantial production cost associated with metal PBF technology is expected to curb market expansion throughout the forecast period.
