Shapeways, a leading global digital manufacturing platform driven by proprietary software, today announced the results of a manufacturing stakeholder survey that reinforces the continued growth of 3D printing (“3DP”) with three-quarters of those polled reporting extensive or exclusive use of additive manufacturing for volume production. This mainstream use of 3DP for production manufacturing is closely tied to a major shift in customer expectations, resulting in higher demands for quality, sustainability and personalization.
