Market Leaders and their expansionary development strategies
In April 2019, 3D Systems opened a new Advanced Additive Manufacturing Center in Pinerolo, Italy. From the last one and half years, the company was planning to double its manufacturing capacity and increase the breadth of capabilities to meet increasing customer demand. This expansion was intended to bring all SLA and SLS activity in one center.
In September 2018, Stratasys extended its collaboration with Team Penske for providing FDM additive manufacturing advance car testing and production of prototypes and functional parts. Using Stratasys’ industrial 3D printers, the Fortus 380mc Carbon Fiber Edition (CFE) industrial 3D printer and the F900, Team Penske is gaining a competitive edge for car testing, prototypes, and production parts., and In May 2018, BMW launched a new prototype of their bike, the s1000RR that incorporates 3D printing. The prototype of the bike consists of a 3D printed frame and a swing arm manufactured by 3D technologies.
