This comprehensive market study, built on proprietary AM Research market data, indicates that 3D printing software revenues will reach $6.78B in 2033 compared with $2.44B this year.

This report describes a segmentation shift taking place in the AM software market, where two distinct areas of the ever-changing AM software landscape now are taking form: a ‘Core Workflow’ market and an ‘Application and Process’ market. Further propelling both segments is the integration of and optimization by AI.

Market dynamics for 3D printing software are thus evolving quite fast, to where cutting-edge AM software functionalities of just three years ago are now teetering on being commodity functionalities. The goal posts have been moved regarding which AM software functionalities are now concretely established in a tier one CAD platform, and which areas of software functionality are the next targets to be gobbled up into the connected end to end platforms that rule the manufacturing world.

AM Research’s reports on AM software have become adopted across the entire AM industry by companies looking for an off-the-shelf source of detailed market data and forecasts for AM software, with critical insights on leading market sectors and commentary on industry dynamics.

Some of the vendors and organizations mentioned in this report include: 3D Systems, Autodesk, Stratasys, Materialise, Siemens, GE Additive, Authentise, Markforged, Hexagon, Altair, Aibuild, 1000 Kelvin, trinckle, Oqton, 3YOURMIND, nTop, Phase3D, Cognitive Design Systems, CoreTechnologie, Dyndrite, amsight, and more.
