HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 27, 2015 — As Changing Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: CHGT) continues to develop innovative new retail 3D printing strategies, the global 3D printing industry is set to make a major leap this year. Industry research firm Gartner, Inc., forecasts that worldwide 3D printer shipments will double in 2015, rising to 217,350 units from last year’s total of 108,151.
What’s more, Gartner predicts that 3D printer shipments will continue to more than double every year for the next three years, when worldwide shipments are forecast to surpass 2.3 million units. Key market drivers for new 3D printers include lower prices, improved performance and increasing availability.
“3D printing innovators are delivering better, less costly products, and that is leading to an explosion in demand from consumers,” said CHGT CEO Omar T. Durham. “The market has reached an inflection point. Our company plans to capitalize on the projected growth by delivering convenient and superior 3D printing services to the public that can’t be matched by any consumer-ready machine.”
Indeed, the 2.3 million shipments forecast for 2018 by Gartner represent only a fraction of the total potential marketplace of consumer, business and government applications for 3D printing technology. CHGT has put together a business plan designed to capture more of this potential business by delivering an on-demand, interactive retail 3D printing experience. The company is developing an online 3D printing portal built by interactive software developer Advarion Incorporated for CHGT subsidiary 6th Dimension Technologies (6D3D) that will give users the ability to search its database for printable 3D models and purchase them from the site. It will also offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement-part manufacturing, as well as licensing opportunities for game and animation developers.
