Military 4D Printing Market By Technique (Fused deposition modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Selective laser sintering (SLS) and selective laser melting (SLM), Others), By Material (Hydrogels, Thermo-responsive, Photo-responsive, Electro & magneto responsive, Others), By Properties (Self-assembly, Self-repair, Self-adaptability), By Application (Army, Navy, Air Force): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2030-2040
The additive manufacturing technology has been in existence for about 30 years. Researchers have developed a new technology as an extension to 3D printing to add another dimension to additive manufacturing, known as 4D printing. The technology is a combination of smart material, a software program, and 3D printing technology. Moreover, 4D printing remains intact after the external energy sources such as heat, pressure, energy, and others. At present, the military & defense segment of various nations has been developing advanced printing technologies to assist soldiers in various combat missions and operations. This has increased the performance of military weapons such as guns, machinery, tanks, and trucks which in turn expected to boost demand for 4D printers in the defense sector. For instance, in the coming years, the U.S. Air Force plans to add 20 additional components on the aircraft, made from polymers and high-end metals, such as titanium. Such robust plans to install additive manufactured components on aircraft are anticipated to generate demand for the 4D printing technology in the future.
The factors such as surge in military application to boost the product demand, increasing investments by armed forces into technology, and rise in adoption of lightweight components is expected to drive the market growth. However, complex design of both hardware & software section and lack of standardization in process are some of the factors that hinders the market growth. Furthermore, technological advancements and rise in demand for Industry 4.0 and emergence of Industry 5.0 are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for military 4D printing market growth.
