In an increasingly crowded 3D Printing market place, we believe that vendors of printers, scanners, software, materials and services must carefully consider how to design and message their products.
SmarTech assists clients in these efforts through targeted end-user interviews to help better understand what features, performance, functions, bells and whistles impress end user communities. We have an extensive panel of insider technical and business contacts in the aerospace, automotive, medical, dentistry, consumer goods and materials industry that provide us with feedback on what their requirements are for 3D Printing products and services. And we also carry comparative studies of marketing and design strategies that are being used in the 3D Printing marketplace indicating their successes, failures, pros and cons.
We also provide the necessary data and analysis to assist clients create new customer bases for new or established 3D Printing-related product lines, as well the supply chains that support these lines.
Projects of this kind typically utilize SmarTech’s proprietary forecasting models that provide projections in both volume and revenue terms of specific types of printers and 3D Printing materials, as well as service revenues. In addition, through our constant dialog with the 3D printing community we are in a unique position to identify the key target markets for specific client as well as identify market gaps that novel products and technologies address.
We also have in-house capability to appraise the level of competitive advantage that firms in the 3D Printing/additive manufacturing space acquire through superior patents and other IP.
