• Materials will be demanded in a quantity to justify volume production with concomitant reduction in unit cost for the user. Material cost will drop.
• Lower cost will increase usage, engendering greater demand,…
• Several “mini-suppliers” or niche product companies have appeared in the last 5-10 years and seem to be surviving.

• Common 3DP materials are generally not patent protected
• Material cost is high for consumers, but new suppliers do not seem to be entering the marketplace
• Perhaps the price will come down as material usage volume increases due to adoption
• My impression is that there is little consumer loyalty to a specific brand of material

Summary of AM Mechanical Behavior
• Mechanical behavior is predictable based on the traditional understanding of microstructure and processing.
• Porosity and inter-layer interfaces have a strong influence on the mechanical behavior.
• Anisotropy is not generally an issue if parts are built with low porosity and good layer interface.
• As processed parts are stronger than conventionally processed material but have lower elongation and poorer dynamic properties.
• Polymers produced using best practice have isotropic strength and anisotropic ductility.
