Wohlers Associates, the Colorado-based additive manufacturing consultancy firm operating underASTM International，已经出版了Wohlers Report 2022.
The annual report, which focuses on the state of 3D printing and additive manufacturing, has now reached its 27th consecutive year of publishing. Terry Wohlers, head of advisory services and market intelligence at the firm, has delivered the Wohlers Report to industry professionals since 1996, providing expert analysis into the ins and outs of the global 3D printing sector.
今年研究的主要收获表明，添加剂制造业在2021年增长了19.5％，其增长率高于2020年的7.5％。这主要归因于Covid-19-19的大流行中的全球持续恢复。
特里·沃勒斯（Terry Wohlers）说：“正如预期的那样，该行业已经恢复了一段时期的进步和投资。”“这种扩张跨越了航空航天，医疗保健，汽车，消费产品，能源和其他部门。”
Wohlers报告2022
Wohlers报告旨在为读者提供竞争优势，提供与3D打印有关的见解，分析，趋势和预测。它是业务领导者的决策工具，详细介绍了与系统，软件，后处理和消耗品的生产，销售和价格相关的进步。该研究还提供有关专利，初创企业和研发的信息。
This year’s iteration spans 425 pages and includes commentary on 147 early-stage and corporate investments, as well as 75 mergers, acquisitions, and initial public offerings.
根据2022年的报告，随着3D打印部门的成熟，越来越多的公司正在使用该技术进行系列生产应用程序。从历史上看，增材制造业的主要应用程序一直在功能原型中。沃勒斯（Wohlers）指出，这种增长的标志是整个2021年聚合物粉末消耗的增加，该粉末消耗增长了43.3％，现在已超过了最常用的3D印刷材料。
Fried Vancraen，创始人兼首席执行官Materialise，补充说：“没有其他有关添加剂制造的报告接近提供Wohlers报告中可用的内容。我年复一年地依靠它。”
今年的报告中有什么新功能？
Every year, Wohlers Associates aims to revamp the Wohlers Report with new and expanded features. This year’s study includes several improvements in the following sections: scaling AM into production, workforce development and sustainability, Women in 3D Printing, R&D programs, and the future of AM.
以容易消化的方式,数据displayed in 62 charts and graphs, 384 images and illustrations, 108 tables, and a further 65 pages of supplemental content.
沃勒斯指出，2022年的报告是在117个3D打印服务提供商，114个3D打印机制造商，29个第三方材料开发商以及152个学术和研究机构的支持下的支持下创建的。来自来自33个国家 /地区的93位合着者和贡献者，对专家的看法进行了整理。

Reports and whitepapers in additive manufacturing
Wohlers Associatesisn’t the only organization providing market insights in the 3D printing sector. Earlier this month,3D印刷中的妇女，非营利性女性参与添加剂制造的拥护者，出版了报告调查行业中性别薪酬差距的报告. Through关于3D打印多样性的报告, Wi3DP has sought to uncover the extent of wage disparity between men and women working in the sector, as well as ways of addressing this.
Elsewhere, theWorld Economic Forum(WEF) recently published a white paper outlining a potential roadmap forrapidly driving the wider adoption of 3D printing. Despite the “cycles of hype” seemingly surrounding 3D printing, the WEF says that “not all predictions and forecasts” about its potential “have become reality.” In order to make the technology more resilient, flexible, and sustainable, the group has used its paper to issue a seven-point industry call to action.
