VoxelMatters Consumer AM Focus 2026 eBook
Footwear, eyewear, wearables, jewelry, and much more
As we’ll see in this eBook, the consumer AM market continues to grow and evolve in exciting ways. On one side, we are seeing major consumer brands increasingly using the technology and also disclosing how game-changing AM is, not only for product development but also in final production. On the other side, we are seeing more and more product designers and small brands emerge, empowered by 3D printing to bring their ideas and concepts to market.
In the following pages, we have a range of great content about consumer AM, starting with an analysis chapter that tracks ongoing trends and new developments in the sector since our 2024 Consumer Products AM market report. Next is a feature story about how XJet’s NanoParticle Jetting is ushering in a new economic logic in the jewelry and luxury goods sectors thanks to its ability to directly print precious metal alloys with a high level of material efficiency.
Then we present Davide Sher’s reportage of the recent MIDO 2026 eyewear show in Milan, where 3D printed frames represented a not insignificant share of the exhibited products. Staying in Italy, we then look at Legor and its 3D Metal Hub, which is serving customers from the jewelry industry who seek to benefit from greater design freedom and production automation. Finally, in an editorial piece by yours truly, we highlight some of our favorite 3D printed footwear designs from recent years, which illustrate the versatility of the technology.
