Major Players

Data Bridge Market Research analyzes Stratasys (U.S.), EOS (Germany), 3D Systems, Inc. (Japan), BASF SE (Germany), and Materialise (Belgium) as the major players in the Europe 3D printing materials market.

Market Developments

• In October 2023, EOS launched its Digital Foam Architects network, designed to accelerate the development and additive manufacturing (AM) of consumer, medical and industrial products featuring Digital Foam applications. Digital Foam is not a product, rather it is an approach to 3D printing foam-like products. It will provide a new direction to the company in 3D printing materials
• In October 2023, Arkema announced new partnerships with industry leaders such as EOS, HP and Stratasys to design the next generation of 3D printed materials and solutions. This will favour their innovative capabilities and enhance their product portfolio
• In February 2023, Bauer Hockey, the Europe leader in hockey equipment innovation, and industrial 3D printing industry pioneer and market leader, EOS, have collaborated to incorporate additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) into Bauer’s MyBauer custom equipment program. EOS and its patented Digital Foam approach to printing polymers gave Bauer a distinct advantage. It will strengthen the market presence for EOS in the Europe 3D Printing Materials market
• In November 2021, Covestro AG introduced four new 3D printing materials at Formnext 2021, covering diverse technologies. Among them is Addigy FPC SOL1 HT, a soluble support material for FDM printing of high-temperature materials, offering easy removal and sustainability. Arnitel AM3001 (P) for SLS, a soft material with high energy return, achieved successful 3D printing with compliance with Toy Safety standards. Covestro also launched SLS and HSS versions of its TPU powder, Addigy PPU 86AW6, known for rebound, easy post-processing, and high reuse rate. These additions expand Covestro's polymer choices for 3D printing, following its acquisition of DSM's additive manufacturing business earlier this year
