In recognition of these difficulties, the industry is looking to see how every step can be better integrated and automated to create a well-connected production environment. This was seen clearly in the product showcases at Formnext and RAPID+TCT; any attendee walking the exhibition floors could find post-processing machines capable of cleaning hundreds of parts, AGVs moving parts from step to step, or AI-enabled software simplifying part design and quality assurance. It can also be seen in the partnerships announced in the AM industry daily, as companies move away from closed supply chains into open collaborations to create a robust, interconnected network of complementary products around their systems. This emphasis on automating and integrating additive manufacturing production lines will mature the industry to move out of niche areas into valuable, higher-volume applications. The latter application areas will fuel the 3D printing industry's growth into a $41 billion market by 2033, as forecast by IDTechEx in " 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing 2023-2033: Technology and Market Outlook".
