According to the 2018 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing State of the Industry by Wohlers Associates, desktop 3D printer sales revenue increased 31.5 % to an estimated $ 610.5 million in 2017.
90 % of 3D printer users consider 3D printing a competitive advantage in their overall strategy (Sculpteo)
Plastics like PLA lead 3D print materials at 88 % as of early 2017 (Statista)
3D printing usage in various industries is on the rise, steadily increasing over the past several years. A 2017 Sculpteo study—focused on professionals utilizing additive manufacturing— found that 59 % of Americans and 69 % of Europeans surveyed are skilled 3D printer users. Additionally, 47 % of the canvassed companies saw a greater ROI on 3D printing investments in 2017 than in 2016. The benefits of desktop 3D printing in a professional environment are both financially and operationally rewarding, with enhanced efficiency and cost savings through in-house rapid prototyping and the freedom of iterative design.

The ability to create multiple iterations of a product prototype or end-use part means greater flexibility in design and more room for creativity.
Bringing design and prototyping in-house decreases the amount of development time to take new products from ideation to creation.
Without the need for outsourcing to an SLS service, companies can save money and often experience ROI on their 3D printer after just a handful of uses.
