Balancing Growth: Rising Demand and Innovation Drive the 3D Printing Market Amid Cost and Skill Challenges
The growth of this market is driven by the growing demand for polymers in 3D printing applications, the increasing focus of organizations on product development and prototyping, and government initiatives supporting the adoption of 3D printing technologies. However, the high costs of 3D printing materials restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the application of 3D printing technologies in the education sector and enterprises’ increasing focus on hybrid material innovation are expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the shortage of skilled professionals and limited material selection are major challenges impacting market growth.
Application of 3D Printing Technologies in the Education Sector
The use of 3D printing technologies in the education sector is expected to create growth opportunities for market stakeholders. 3D printing technologies help improve learning and skill development and increase student-teacher engagement. Also, working with 3D-printed models helps students improve creativity and solve complex problems with ease. 3D printing technologies improve students’ understanding by allowing them to physically touch and observe 3D-printed objects. Thus, the growing adoption of 3D printing technologies in the education sector is expected to drive the demand for 3D printing materials.

Nowadays, educators have started implementing 3D printing technologies at all levels, from primary to secondary school. 3D printing technologies enable educators to provide students with accurate physical prototypes and, thus, practical, and hands-on knowledge, allowing them to understand scientific concepts. Many countries have started introducing 3D printing technologies in schools and universities. For instance, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) chose several universities and technical schools to subsidize two-thirds of their expenses toward introducing 3D printing technology. Also, following the U.S., Japan joined Britain and Australia in introducing 3D printing technologies in schools and other educational institutions.
Many universities and technical colleges have incorporated 3D printing modules and projects into various courses, such as engineering and applied sciences. The third-level 3D printing module focuses on building 3D printers from scratch and fabricating 3D models using various materials. 3D printing technologies thus aid visual and practical learning across sciences. 3D-printed components are often used as test models for scientific experiments in disciplines such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, and robotics. The use of 3D printers in public libraries helps improve knowledge exchange between learners. Also, university libraries have started maintaining dedicated makerspaces with 3D printers that can be used by all library members.

Dr. van Belle to guide scientific exploration and foster innovation in the next era of astronomical research
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lowell Observatory is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Gerard van Belle as the new Director of Science. Van Belle, who has been an astronomer at the observatory since 2011, has been serving as the interim Director of Science.
In his new role, van Belle will lead a diverse team of astronomers and planetary scientists. He will spearhead the observatory’s new Science Vision, which focuses on advancing research capabilities and implementing cutting-edge technological improvements supporting Lowell’s leadership in astronomical research.
Under his leadership, the science department will continue to advance Lowell Observatory’s mission to pursue the study of astronomy, including the study of our solar system and its evolution, and to conduct pure research in astrophysical phenomena.
Van Belle’s own research focuses on fundamental stellar parameters, including the sizes, shapes, masses, distances, and temperatures of various types of stars. He is also renowned for his expertise in optical and near-infrared astronomical interferometry.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Whitman College in 1990, followed by a master’s degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1993, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wyoming in 1996.
Throughout his career, van Belle has been instrumental in the development and commissioning of major optical interferometers worldwide, including the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, the Keck Interferometer, and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. His pioneering work in stellar surface imaging earned him the inaugural Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2002.
In 2011, van Belle joined Lowell Observatory’s science staff, where he applied high-resolution astronomical techniques to detect nearby exoplanets and map stellar surfaces. He served as the Director of the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) in Flagstaff, Arizona, from 2017 to 2018, and subsequently as its Chief Scientist until 2022.
Notably, van Belle was among the astronomers who voted against the definition of ‘planet’ advanced during the 2006 International Astronomical Union (IAU) conference in Prague, which relegated Pluto to being a ‘dwarf planet’ (which according to the IAU resolution is not a planet).
His extensive experience and dedication to advancing astronomical research make him a valuable leader for Lowell Observatory’s scientific endeavors.
“I am honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time for Lowell Observatory,” said van Belle. “Our Science Vision will guide us in exploring new frontiers in astronomy while strengthening our commitment to public engagement and education.”
Executive Director Dr. Amanda Bosh expressed her confidence in van Belle’s leadership: “Gerard’s extensive experience and dedication to our mission make him the ideal person to lead our scientific endeavors. I look forward to working closely with him as we embark on this exciting new chapter for Lowell Observatory.”
For more information about Lowell Observatory’s research and public programs, visit lowell.edu.
About Lowell Observatory
Founded in 1894, Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a renowned nonprofit research institution. It is the site of historic and groundbreaking discoveries, including the first evidence of the expanding universe and the discovery of Pluto. Today, Lowell’s astronomers utilize global ground-based and space telescopes, along with NASA spacecraft, for diverse astronomical and planetary science research. The observatory hosts more than 100,000 visitors annually for educational tours, presentations, and telescope viewing through a suite of world-class public telescopes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MSG Networks released the following statement about their dispute with Altice USA:
“Altice USA has pulled their last proposal and walked away from negotiations to bring MSG Networks back to its Optimum subscribers. They also just dropped WPIX Channel 11 in New York and other local stations around the country. If you have been waiting, like we have, for them to do right by their customers – don’t wait any longer. Now is the time to switch to Verizon Fios who has a special offer for Optimum subscribers. Meanwhile, Optimum has been charging their over 1 million customers for local sports programming they have not been receiving and EVERY subscriber should be credited at least $10 a month.
Verizon Fios is ready to take your business. If you are not in Verizon Fios area, you can get games through these other providers DirecTV, DirecTV Stream, Fubo and The Gotham Sports App. For more options on how to switch providers, visit www.keepMSG.com.”
