Biggest EBM market within five years?
In my believe:
Heavy duty construction parts with extreme weight-strength ratio
In my opinion within five years the biggest market for EBM will be in heavy duty construction parts.
First of all parts like brackets in aviation, keywords for properties are; extreme force/loads in a specific direction, extreme demanding in weight to strength ratio.
In my believe within five years per plane more construction parts are EBM manufactured than there are turbine blades within that plane.
In other sectors these “low weight” construction parts are very welcome as well:
Think about race car construction parts, military vehicles, mining vehicles and equipment, cranes, shovels, bridges, etc.
Now the base material for EBM manufacturing is very expensive, suppose in five years that price is lowered with 50%.
We are on the base of a new aera, there is much to discover, and markets have to recognise the possibilities for their specific implementation.
