"Comprehensive
and authoritative, the Wohlers Report is an extraordinary compilation
of information on additive manufacturing and 3D printing. It is a
must read for those that want more than a cursory understanding of this
incredible and rapidly changing technology."
Ed Morris, Director, America
Makes – National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute
"Meet
the man behind it and his growing team of associates, understand his
broad experience, comprehensive knowledge and vast contact network and
it becomes glaringly obvious as to why this is still the go-to report
for steady, realistic, and reliable insight into the 3D printing
industry."
Rachel Park, Editor-in-Chief,
3D Printing Industry
"... Wohlers,
the industry's highest profile expert."
Alexander Eule, Barron's
"More
than just the bible of 3D printing, it is the New Testament as well as
the Old Testament. We can't think of another industry where a single
source has such a compelling handle on the entire scope of industry
trends."
Citron Research
"Absolutely
fascinating
report! It has had a profound impact on my research, and it is
defintely the "go to" document for its breadth and depth of AM activity
around the globe."
Brett Conner, Associate
Professor, Youngstown State University

2013 report is excellent and perhaps the best I’ve ever seen on an
emerging technology. The level of detail is amazing."
Owen McGarel, Lead Research
Engineer, ITW Technology Center
"Now in
its 18th year of
publication (that’s right all you 3-D printing arrivistes, this stuff
has been around for a while), the annual report describes a healthy and
growing market for 3-D printing equipment, services, materials and
processes, albeit one where the value continues to accrue to industrial
applications."
Michael Copeland, Senior
Editor, WIRED

"The
amount of information in the report is almost overwhelming. I am awed
by its depth and breadth. What's more, the information is not available
anywhere else. For example, we hear how China is changing, but few
people fully understand the transformation that's underway. The report
gives insight and clarification on China and it covers the rest of the
world with the same careful analysis. It also provides insight into new
products and applications that you normally would not hear about, such
as light-weight structures, nanomanufacturing, growing organs, gaming,
and new types of protective gear. One of the secrets of your success is
the extensive travel worldwide, coupled with the information you seek
from experts globally. Thank you for making something so remarkable
available each year."
Boris Fritz,
Northrop Grumman
"It is taking some time to get
through your report because I'm underlining all the useful information

mine of information. It is impressive how you manage to collate all
this information."
Dr. Mike Shellabear,
