Patent Landscape Report on 3D-Printing

This report provides a patent analysis of the advances in 3D-Printing technology. We examined 13268 patents from various companies from 2000 to 2023. The report is divided into four main sections as follows.
1- Technology Analysis
This section applies machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence to analyze the text of patents and categorize them into different conceptual groups. It also displays the distribution and trend of patents by year and their content similarity. This section includes the following subsections:
• Topic Modeling
• Topic Modeling by Year
• Topic Trend
• Clustering
2- Patent Family
This section intends to examine the patenting process, the geographical distribution and the main applicants of the patents. It also shows the patenting strategies of the key companies in general. Furthermore, this section splits the patents into four levels based on their technical features. This section contains the following:
• Patent Family Growth
• Patent Family Growth by Jurisdiction
• Top Players
• Top Players by Jurisdiction
• Top Technologies
• Top Technologies by Jurisdiction
3- Technology Trend
This section showcases the top patents in this field in two periods: from 2000 onwards and in the last 5 years. It demonstrates the dominance of HP in this field. Moreover, it enumerates the key patents and their applicants as well as the emerging technologies in this field. This section comprises the following subsections:
• Top Players with Top Forward Citation
• Key Patents
• Key Patents in Recent 5 Years
• Emerging Technologies
4- Competitor Analysis
In this section, we contrast the five main competitors with each other. We assess them based on their ownership of key patents and top technologies. We also compare their patent portfolios and their growth in patenting and technological activities in the last 5 years. This section consists of the following subsections:
• Applicants of Key Patents
• Applicants of Top Technologies
• Portfolio
• Emerging Companies
This report consists of a 60-page written document and a 47-slide pdf presentation. Additionally, an excel file with all the possible tables and figures will be provided.
This report was produced by the AI-Powered service of STIMAnalytics and reviewed by technical experts who work with us.
