Aerospace, Medical and Industrial are – and
will remain – attractive target markets for AM
due to comparatively high margins, high
component complexity and individuality as well
as high performance requirements (i.e. lightweight, efficiency, biocampatibility etc.)
Energy and Consumer comprise several
attractive applications due to high application-
specific requirements either regarding
performance and repair or individuality
Automotive, despite offering high technological
potential, has only limited market attractiveness,
mostly due to very high production volumes, low
margins and high levels of standardization
High performance application
segments with limited production
volumes are generally preferable

Additive manufacturing already is a mainstream application in industries where the production of individualized products is more cost efficient
How can additive manufacturing become a mainstream application?
Individualization
Additive manufacturing is highly
interesting for applications with a
high degree of individualization or
mass-customization

Dental prostheses and hearing aids
„In the dental industry, additive manufacturing is
already used for series production. In some
countries, dentures produced with our technology
replaced investment casting for dentures almost
completely. Right now, there are approx. 6,8 million
units per year produced with this technology. Upward
tendency.“

Outsourcing + No investment cost + Tested part quality (optional) + No personnel requirement
Quite expansive Higher waiting time Littler influence on process chain Danger of IP infringement No development of know how No process optimization Product liability dangers

+ Direct Integration in own production process (shortening of cycle time)
+ Shortening of development process (Time-to-Market-Reduction)

AM is only limited suitable for this business case.
Executive summary Business model evaluation
A femur component of a knee
implant with standard geometry.
• The EBM process is more cost-
efficient than the SLM process.
• Due to the low quantities AM is
not suitable for this business
process in the next years.
Material & Manufacturing cost
• Reduction of 35 % by 2020
• The process chain changes with
AM but significant advantages
are not expected.
• Atomizing by extern partners
• All post-processing steps
inhouse
What?
Value? • Due to the increasingly longer
life expectancies the knee
implant market will further
grow.
• Market for knee implants will
grow up 10 Bill. US$ until
2021.
• Market with increasing
competitors.

Product Opportunity Analysis Contrast to conventional product technologies
What?
In the business case: A 3D-printed knee implant with standard geometry is used.
3D-printed Knee Implant
with individual geometry
AM Knee implants are in use for
patient customized parts
Major drivers for AM knee
implant
Less recovery time after surgery
Less revision surgeries4
Better biological adaption
Major drawbacks
Long-term studies do not exist
yet
Higher production cost
3D-printed Knee Implant
with standard geometry
Using AM to manufacture the
knee implants with boundary
sizes could be more economic
than the cast process
Benchmark
Cast and milled knee implant
with standard geometry
Most knee implants have
standard geometries
Different implant sizes for
different patient sizes
Less need for very small and
very large knee implants

Product Opportunity Analysis Comparison of product opportunities
Status-quo Additive Manufacturing
Material • Cobalt-Chrome used for
series with standard
geometry
• Cobalt-Chrome powder is available:
Melted powder material has a finer
microstructure smaller pores result in
homogenized and better material quality
• Titanium possible
Redesign • Various sizes of knee
implants with standard
geometry
• Case individual geometry:
high potential to generate added value
due to redesign
• Case standard geometry:
Redesign not wanted;
Standard designs have to be transferred

Customer opportunity analysis Voices from market experts
„Knee replacement surgery is
already one of the most common
hospital procedures performed in the
United States, with over 600,000
surgeries performed each year. Due
to the population staying in the
workforce longer and the rise in
obesity related illnesses, that
number is expected to rise to almost
three million by 2030 “ Scott J Grunewald, Author at
3dprintingindustry
„The knee implants market will grow due
to factors such as increase in the rate of
age related diseases like osteoporosis
and arthritis, diabetes, obesity, ageing
population and injuries related to sports.
However due to technological advances
such as minimal invasive surgery, better
implant materials and better success
rates, even the younger population are
able to undergo knee replacement
surgery. “ transparencymarketresearch
“Gaining market share can be slow
in this business. You have to
educate the surgeons one by one
and get the hospitals to sign off on
anything new. Market share changes
very slowly in this industry.” William J. Plovanic, medical device
analyst for investment bank Canaccord
Genuity
„Additive manufacturing will pave the way
to an entirely new outlook on medical
implants and devices. “ Atin Angrish, Industry Analyst at ZoomRx
Healthcare Research
„Americans are getting older, and
heavier—and both trends are
trouble for the country's knees.“ John Tozzi for BloomberBusiness

Value opportunity analysis Cost analysis (Manufacturing cost vs. produced units)
At current cost structure no economical use case ( Based on several assumptions). In case of full utilization EBM process converges to reference cost.
Basic parameters:
Reference Cost (assumption) 110 €/unit
Intersection with reference cost EBM: 11.338 units
Approx. steady cost level SLM: 323 %, EBM 99,6 %

High potential for future improvement in regard of speed and cost for AM-systems expected.
Value opportunity analysis Technology and market forecast 2020 Value?
Multi-laser usage feasible
New scanning strategies
Improved powder handling in the process
Decrease in material cost strongly depending on supply and demand
Potential price reduction by usage of different powder manufacturing technologies
Assumption for business case: -30 %.
Economies of scale in SLM-system production
Key patents are running out
Margins will drop
Built-up rate SLM Material cost System cost SLM + 100 % - 60 % - 10-50 %
EBM under cost pressure:
EBM-Build-up rate will rise and EBM-system cost will drop
such that Arcam can maintain competitive advantage.

The SLM process does not converge to the reference cost. The EBM process is more cost-efficient due to the higher build up rate.
