Ambroseo comments,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Industry data shows that metal AM machine unit sales grew 80 per cent in 2017 versus 2016. Despite these impressive numbers, the market is constrained, in part, by process development and process knowledge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many of the existing tool providers in metal AM are providing process development services and encoding the parameters into their tools. While this may ensure reproducibility and quality, it creates a log-jam for innovation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To alleviate this &#8220;log-jam&#8221; Ambroseo explains, &#8220;[OR Laser]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has also developed a complete AM software suite so no third-party software is needed to go from a CAD model to printed part. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We believe this combination will be critical in opening up the metal AM market. We also see opportunities for process improvement in the types of lasers being applied in metal AM.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Future direction of OR Laser will be guided towards the aerospace and automotive industries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Market consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is interesting to notice that with this acquisition, another European company has been snapped up by an American player. Notably, American multinational conglomerate GE acquired metal 3D printing companies Concept Laser, from Germany, and Arcam AB, from Sweden. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>To further its position in the dental market, 3D Systems bought Dutch company Vertex-Global Holding B.V in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The industry has also seen significant activity between companies within Europe as well. Prodways Group, part of Groupe Gorg\u00e9, has acquired a 75% stake in fellow French company Interson-Protac, and German chemical giant BASF now wholly owns Dutch premium filament maker Innofil3D.<\/p>\n<p><em>For 3D printing business news subscribe to the most widely read newsletter in the industry here, follow <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing\"> Industry on Twitter<\/a> and like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/3dprintingindustry\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Search and post <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing\"> Jobs<\/a> for new opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Voting for the 2018 <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing\"> Industry Awards<\/a> closes this week, vote now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image shows a metal 3D print of the classic rook and double helix from the ORLAS CREATOR.
