The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
The aerospace 3D printing market features leading companies driving innovation in additive manufacturing for aircraft components, rocket engines, and space structures. Key players include 3D Systems, Stratasys, Airbus, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, which dominate through patents, production capabilities, and partnerships. 3D Systems pioneered the industry since 1986, offering hardware, software, and materials for aerospace parts like satellite components and complex prototypes, serving defense and space sectors with high-precision solutions. Stratasys excels in FDM and PolyJet technologies, producing flight-certified parts using advanced thermoplastics like Antero for agile manufacturing and on-demand components, recently partnering with AM Craft for aviation aftermarket growth. Airbus leads in patent filings for adaptive 3D models in laser sintering and composite fabrication, retrofitting lighter aircraft parts and operating dedicated printing centers for titanium and aluminum helicopter components to cut emissions. Boeing innovates in diverse applications for aircraft and satellites, leveraging 3D printing for lightweight, efficient parts amid accelerating adoption in power systems and fuselages. Northrop Grumman integrates additive techniques across aeronautics and space systems, producing durable electronic warfare and propulsion components for global defense programs.
Beyond these giants, Materialise, EOS GmbH, GE Additive, RTX (Raytheon Technologies), and Safran expand the market's scope with specialized offerings. Materialise provides end-to-end software like Magics and certified manufacturing for prototypes and airworthy cabin parts, holding EASA approvals and collaborating on aftermarket solutions. EOS GmbH delivers industrial polymer and metal printers for precise, repeatable aerospace tooling and lightweight geometries, partnering with firms like Gilmour Space for sustainable production. GE Additive, via Arcam's EBM technology, fabricates complex, durable engine blades and structures, launching advanced printers like the Q20plus for high-efficiency aerospace applications. RTX files extensive patents in 3D-printed defense components, emphasizing geographic reach and application diversity alongside Boeing and Airbus. Safran contributes through engine-focused innovations, complementing the ecosystem with metal additive processes for turbine and structural enhancements.
Emerging leaders like Relativity Space, SpaceX, Redwire, and Desktop Metal propel space-specific advancements, while equipment providers like HP Inc. support broader adoption. Relativity Space and SpaceX use in-house 3D printing for full rocket builds, reducing costs in housing and propulsion. Redwire deploys microgravity bioprinters on the ISS for space structures and avionics. Desktop Metal (including EnvisionTEC) advances precise polymer solutions for detailed components. These ten companies—3D Systems, Stratasys, Airbus, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Materialise, EOS, GE Additive, RTX, Safran—collectively fuel a market projected to reach USD 14.53 billion by 2032 at 20.1% CAGR, enabling lighter parts, supply chain resilience, and rapid prototyping amid rising demand for sustainable aerospace manufacturing.
