London (ots/PRNewswire) -

Defence IQ recently conducted a wide spanning survey on the
Additive Manufacturing Defence, Aerospace and Space Industry to
explore what has changed in the last 12 months and what the future
holds. They have gathered their findings in the following

From the survey they found that 37% of respondents felt that
international bodies should lead the additive manufacturing
certification efforts, this is down from last year's survey. The
trend for 2017 sees that more people think it should be led by
cross-sector working groups.

56% of respondents stated that qualification was the biggest
challenge currently facing the industry. Followed by 28% who thought
manufacturing was the biggest challenge and just 16% felt design was
the biggest issue.

28% of respondents feel that stakeholders are very aware of
potential benefits that additive manufacturing can bring to the
manufacturing process. While 25% felt they were not very aware of the
potential benefits that additive manufacturing can bring to the
manufacturing process.

Looking ahead to the future, 75% feel it is likely that additive
manufacturing will be standard and ubiquitous in the next decade. 90%
think that it is likely within the next 20 years. Over the next 5
years most felt that additive manufacturing will provide the most
benefit to the aerospace industry.
