Market Dynamics

The 3d Printing Gases Market is making significant progress due to the importance of using the correct gas mixtures to achieve high-quality 3D prints. Engineers at the Linde Global Development Centre in Germany are dedicated to perfecting the layering process in additive manufacturing by utilizing specialized gases. They research the impact of different atmospheric gases on various metal powders, creating custom gas mixtures tailored to each powder's properties. For example, they use helium for titanium and unique gas blends for aluminium. Although the 3D printing industry has matured, there are still challenges to overcome. In response, the ADDvance® O2 precision unit was developed by collaborating with Airbus Group. This unit addresses concerns about gas composition and moisture levels, which can affect the quality of 3D-printed products. The ADDvance O2 precision solution has been successfully implemented worldwide, with notable applications in the medical sector, such as 3D Medlab. It has also been used in a collaborative project with Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS to enhance the quality and repeatability of aluminium aircraft components. In this project, the gas analysis technology played a central role.

North America led the 3d Printing Gases market in 2022. The use of 3D printing technology is expanding in a variety of sectors, such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, and healthcare.
