这Vrije Universiteit Brussel, a Dutch speaking university located in Brussels, Belgium, has released a series of 3D printing surveys. The surveys were composed by Wesly Jacobs. Jacobs has featured previously in an article at 3DPI,3D Printing From A Students Perspective关于他的学生 /初创团队对3D打印业务模型的研究。这3D Printing: Customer Survey和3D Printing: Business Surveyare relatively concise, but in-depth. Each covers a variety of angles regarding a number of elements, from preferences for online 3D model platforms to levels of participant knowledge about three-dimensional printing.
Wesly解释了：“有目的地，我们使他们的设置更加笼统，而且更简化，因此对于非3DP特学家来说仍然可以理解。我们试图不让它们太久，并包括双方填写的动机……基本上，一方面，这项一般调查的目标将是对3DP市场的后续消费者级别的后续行动。研究……以及另一个现实检查我们自己的业务模型的内容。从2015年2月开始，我们的计划是在我们的计划开始实现这种商业模式。”
Both of the surveys will provide pertinant feedback for the team and the university. At this nascent stage of development for additive manufacturing and 3D printing surveys such as this, alongside the more established industry analysis by way of experts such as Econolyst, and user analysis by platforms such as3dhubs, provide much needed data to orientate just where the consumer, prosumer and producer levels of knowledge and interest stand. For the industry itself such, research will continue to prove intrinsic and inherently direct parts of the market, from the start-up to the established venture.
