A review of each company includes 1) an estimate of the market share, 2) a listing of the products and/or services in the market, and 3) the features of these products and/or services in the market. The report has a chapter on Comparative Business Strategies for the largest four players. An example of the Comparative Business Strategies analysis would be -- How does Netflix's business strategy to expand its market share in the global online streaming compare to Amazon Prime's business strategy through its video products and services?
The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
EOS remains the clear market leader in metal additive manufacturing, offering a broad portfolio of industrial laser powder bed fusion systems, materials and software that serve aerospace, automotive and medical customers worldwide. Velo3D is recognized for its high-accuracy L-PBF systems and integrated software that enable complex geometries and production-scale repeatability for aerospace and energy sectors. Nikon SLM Solutions (formerly SLM Solutions) supplies large-format SLM machines and has grown under Nikon’s ownership, focusing on high-throughput NXG series systems for industrial series production. BLT (Bright Laser Technologies) has emerged as a major Chinese contender with multi-laser L-PBF platforms, in-house powder capabilities and rapid growth that propelled it into the top ranks by revenue. Colibrium Additive (the successor to GE Additive/Arcam & AP&C assets) and 3D Systems continue as influential players: Colibrium retains EBM and materials strengths for high-value applications while 3D Systems maintains a broad footprint across dental, industrial and aerospace metal segments through diversified offerings.
DMG Mori and TRUMPF supply both directed energy deposition and laser powder bed fusion hardware, enabling hybrid workflows that attract customers needing both production-scale metal parts and repair or cladding capabilities. Renishaw and Nikon SLM Solutions’ contemporaries (Renishaw among them) are noted for precision engineering and specialist applications in medical and aerospace markets, with Renishaw’s systems prized for accuracy and process control in critical-component manufacture. Velo3D’s ecosystem approach—printer, software and services—contrasts with service-focused companies and vertically integrated suppliers such as Materialise, which pairs software and contract manufacturing to support complex metal part production and digital workflow integration across industries. Sciaky and AML3D represent the large-format and wire/arc segments respectively: Sciaky’s EBAM systems target very large aerospace and industrial structures using electron-beam deposition while AML3D’s ARCEMY wire-arc systems emphasize certified, production-ready large-scale metal components for maritime and defense customers.
Market dynamics show a shifting leaderboard driven by Chinese scale-up, strategic acquisitions and the split of services from hardware revenues; BLT, Nikon SLM Solutions, EOS and Colibrium appear near the top by 2024–2025 revenue measures while established Western firms such as 3D Systems, Renishaw and DMG Mori retain critical niches in dental, medical, precision and hybrid manufacturing. Emerging specialists—Velo3D for complex aerospace components, Sciaky and AML3D for very large parts, and Materialise for software-plus-services—underscore segmentation within metal AM where customers select vendors based on build volume, process (L-PBF, EBM, DED, WAM), materials breadth and integration of software and qualification pathways.
