The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
Stratasys Ltd., a pioneer in polymer additive manufacturing, supplies FDM and PolyJet systems, high-performance thermoplastics, and on-demand production services used for jigs, fixtures, interior components, and lightweight structural parts in automotive applications. 3D Systems Corporation offers a broad portfolio spanning stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and metal printing, plus software and post-processing workflows that support prototyping, tooling, and small-series production for powertrain and body-in-white components. EOS GmbH focuses on industrial laser powder-bed fusion for metals and polymers, delivering certified systems and materials that enable functional metal parts, heat-resistant components, and topology-optimized structures increasingly adopted in EV powertrains and lightweight chassis elements. HP Inc. provides Multi Jet Fusion and metal additive platforms that emphasize high throughput and consistent material properties for production-grade plastics and limited-run metal parts such as brackets, ducts, and custom interior elements. Materialise NV combines software, service-bureau capacity, and manufacturing expertise to supply design-for-additive workflows, production printing, and spare-part services for OEMs and tier suppliers, with strengths in software-driven build preparation and quality control for automotive parts.
GE Additive (including Arcam) delivers electron-beam and laser-based metal systems, powders, and application engineering for load-bearing and thermal components in high-performance and luxury vehicles, with a focus on materials development and production qualification for safety-critical parts. Desktop Metal (including ExOne origins) targets scalable metal production via binder-jetting and hybrid approaches, offering cost-effective routes to mass-produce complex metal parts, tooling, and consolidation of assemblies for reduced weight and part count in automotive manufacturing. SLM Solutions and Renishaw supply selective laser melting platforms and process controls optimized for high-precision metal components, fixtures, and functional prototypes, supporting the automotive sector’s needs for repeatability, material range (including titanium and high-grade steels), and on-machine quality assurance. Carbon, Inc. provides Digital Light Synthesis and advanced photopolymers that enable high-fidelity, high-strength polymer production for interior trim, functional prototypes, and rapid tooling with automotive-grade surface finish and mechanical properties. Markforged brings composite and metal extrusion systems coupled with cloud-based workflow software, enabling manufacturers to produce strong, fiber-reinforced polymer parts and enclosed metal components for fixtures, custom tooling, and low-volume functional parts with streamlined digital management.
Collectively these ten companies cover the breadth of technologies used in automotive additive manufacturing—polymer and photopolymer systems for interior and tooling applications, laser and electron-beam powder-bed fusion for structural metal parts, binder jetting for high-throughput metal production, and comprehensive software and service ecosystems that accelerate qualification and serial adoption across OEMs and tier suppliers. Their offerings emphasize production-readiness, material and process certification, digital workflow integration, and partnerships with automotive OEMs focused on lightweighting, part consolidation, rapid customization for limited editions, and on-demand spare-part supply chains.
