Metal took center stage at the annual RAPID conference in Detroit this week, Canaccord Genuity said in a research report Thursday. But this being a show dedicated to 3D printing, scanning and additive manufacturing, metal had to do with the materials for printing objects, not loud rock music. “Many participants (noted) growing adoption of 3D printers for direct part production within aerospace, medical, industrial and other industries, as well as expanding demand for metal 3D printing, especially within (additive manufacturing) service bureaus and into traditional machine shops,” Canaccord analyst Bobby Burleson said. Much of the discussion in 3D printer circles in the last year or so has been about lower-cost printers for professionals and hobbyists. These printers use plastics to create physical objects one layer at a time using 3D computer drawings. They’re mostly for making prototypes and models. With metal 3D printers, companies can make industrial parts and other. Scalper1 News
