DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The "Global Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace, 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This growth insight analyzes the current presence of additive manufacturing in the global aerospace sector. While this is a global study, most of the additive manufacturing action is taking place in the Americas and Europe.

Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has existed in the aerospace sector for over a decade. Early on, the technology was used in the design phase to build prototypes and tooling. Now, although limited, it is routinely used for certified fly away parts fabrication by some OEMs, component suppliers, and vendors. Several methods of additive manufacturing exist, with computer - aided design (CAD) being the most common.

Opportunities await those companies that position themselves to capitalize on the many advantages that additive manufacturing offers. Another benefit is in terms of time saved - from concept to design.

This insight profiles the different methods of creating objects using additive manufacturing, and it provides an overview of how each is relative to aerospace.
