The 2021 3D Printing Sentiment Index<\/a>, conducted by international
The Ultimaker Transformation Summit<\/b><\/p>\n
The Ultimaker Transformation Summit<\/a> is therefore set up to inspire and inform

\nTHE NETHERLANDS –\u00a0Media
\nOutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 13 April 2021 –\u00a0The COVID-19 pandemic sent shockwaves through
\nthe worldwide manufacturing community, as transport and workplace restrictions
\nfrustrated supply chains across the planet. And then, more recently a container
\nship got stuck in the Suez Canal. Disrupting global supply chains, again. But a
\ncrisis can also result in opportunities. And 3D printing is one of these
\nopportunities, already being used by some companies worldwide to drive
\ntransformation and ensure business continuity in a volatile market.<\/p>\n

\nresearch firm Savanta<\/a> in late 2020, showed that leading
\ncompanies wasted no time in showing their entrepreneurship by finding
\nalternatives to ensure business continuity and many turned to 3D printing as a
\ngame-changer in adverse times. The Index is a measure of market awareness and
\nadoption as well as sentiment towards the potential impact of 3D printing
\ntechnology. While the awareness for the technology has increased since last
\nyear, 29% of businesses who could potentially use 3D printing have no current
\nfamiliarity with the technology. This means there is still considerable
\nuntapped opportunity in industries worldwide\u200b. The adoption of 3D printing also
\nincreased in 2020, likely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic as businesses looked
\nfor more reliable solutions for prototyping and local manufacturing, less at
\nrisk from global volatility. While 1-in-3 businesses surveyed are currently
\nusing 3D printing, the Index data shows it is only fully embedded in 1-in-10.
\nAnd that needs to change.<\/p>\n
