The goal of our ‘State of 3D printing’ report is simple. We wanted to group together the biggest possible set of data on users of 3D printing. With more than a thousand engineers, CEOs, designers, educators, marketers, buyers and hobbyists who responded, we managed to put together a sample that we think is representative of behavior in the world of additive manufacturing.

In total, our sample consists of 1,118 respondents. Geographically, our sample is highly concentrated in Europe and America, which account for 91% of respondents. If we take a broader view, this sample summarizes the behavior of companies and individuals in 50 countries working in 16 different industries.

This report shows that the 3D printing revolution doesn’t just belong to individuals. In this respect, 58% of professional respondents reported annual incomes over $50K and 23% belong to a bracket earning more than a million dollars annually.
