JEC COMPOSITES MAGAZINE - EXPERT’S DIGEST - ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - 2020 - 12

EXPERT'S DIGEST
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
the processes these suppliers are compatible with, it can be seen that the majority
of the processes are geared towards thermoplastics with only seven out of the
twenty-eight capable of using thermosets.
As mentioned earlier in this section, the
challenge in getting a good overview and
understanding of the sector is that most

of these companies have developed and
patented their own specific processes
about which they often do not give too
many details away publicly.
The next section therefore presents an
overview of these processes by category
together with the names of the companies
that are active in that category.

Equipment Suppliers -
By process category
Table 14 maps out where the equipment
suppliers lie in terms of the type of additive manufacturing process they have
and how that fits within the ISO/ASTM
categories. In addition, the equipment
suppliers have been segmented by the
size of part their process can manufacture
