What are the current trends for 2023

Introduction:

Over the past few years, the use of 3D printing has expanded exponentially. In 2023, this trend is expected to continue with significant advancements in the technology and the industry as a whole. In this article, we will explore the latest forecasts and predictions for the future of 3D printing.

 Specifically, we will focus on trends that have been identified by experts and leaders in the additive manufacturing industry.

• Virtual Production and Demand for Production-Ready 3D Assets
• The use of virtual production is on the rise, and so is the demand for production-ready 3D assets. Shows like the Muppets Halloween special have already utilized TurboSquid models in their virtual production process . We can expect this trend to continue in 2023.

The increased demand for production-ready 3D assets is driven by the growth of virtual production. Virtual production relies on 3D assets to create immersive environments, characters, and objects. As the quality of virtual production continues to improve, so too will the demand for high-quality 3D assets.

 In 2023, we can expect to see a surge in the creation and distribution of production-ready 3D assets.

• The Rise of Metal 3D Printing
• Metal 3D printing, also known as metal additive manufacturing, has been on the rise in recent years and is expected to continue to grow in popularity in 2023 . This technology allows for the creation of complex metal parts and structures that would be impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.

The adoption of metal 3D printing has been driven by a combination of cost savings and design flexibility. With metal 3D printing, manufacturers can create parts that are lighter, stronger, and more efficient than those produced through traditional manufacturing methods.

In 2023, we can expect to see a significant increase in the use of metal 3D printing across industries.

• Nanoscale, Multi-Material 3D Printing with Direct-Write
• While 3D printing at the macro scale has seen significant advancements, the future of 3D printing lies in the nanoscale.
• In 2023, we can expect to see an increase in the use of nanoscale, multi-material 3D printing with direct-write technology.

Nanoscale 3D printing allows for the creation of extremely small objects with intricate designs. This technology has applications in a range of industries, including healthcare, electronics, and materials science. Direct-write technology allows for the creation of multi-material structures, which can lead to the development of more complex and functional devices.

• Breaking Down the Barriers to Adopting 3D Printing in Industrial Manufacturing
• Despite significant advancements in 3D printing technology, there are still barriers to adopting the technology in industrial manufacturing.
• In 2023, we can expect to see a focus on breaking down these barriers.

One of the main barriers to adopting 3D printing in industrial manufacturing is the lack of knowledge and expertise
