$SSYS,...3D printing industry hampered by regulatory concerns

Regulatory concerns are holding back the widespread adoption of 3D printing, a market that is predicted to reach $21B worldwide by 2020, compared with just $3.1B last year.

The need to satisfy regulators about safety is an "obstacle" to the technology’s advance in certain sectors, says Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS) CEO David Reis. "Every part has to go through testing...every technology, every material has to go through certification."

Manufacturers are facing many hard to win approvals, ranging from the FAA for the production of aerospace parts to the FDA for healthcare devices.
