3D CAD Software Market Dynamics

Driver: Increased penetration in the manufacturing sector

The introduction of CAD and CAM has revolutionized the manufacturing process, allowing manufacturers to create 3D models for representing a part or system. CAD software facilitates quality designing, which is essential in the manufacturing sector. It provides a medium for designers to view a component or a part under several representations and test it by simulating real-life conditions. Furthermore, CAD makes the manufacturing process more cost-effective as it eliminates the risk of producing a part to ensure its working. It helps to reduce production costs for both customers and manufacturers as it detects faults earlier in the manufacturing process.

Manufacturers constantly face challenges to improve product quality and increase efficiency. In a bid to address these challenges, several manufacturers are utilizing new methods and technologies including CAD/CAM and 3D designing to bring down the development time. Rendered 3D CAD models assist in generating commercial brochures and part catalogs in a bid to help vendors deliver better product design. This has led to enhance the business-to-business aspects with a smoother communication between component suppliers and manufacturers. The 3D CAD software not only designs and manufactures products accurately but also validates the design for optimization. In every aspect of manufacturing, from rapid prototyping to FEA and CFD simulation, the 3D CAD model is an integral part of the product development process. Hence, the growth in the manufacturing sector is expected to directly impact the 3D CAD software growth.

Driver: Growing investments in 3D printing

Emerging engineering models, such as BIM, 3D printing, and concurrent engineering, are likely to influence the 3D CAD software market. The prototype that has been developed through CAD is printed to deliver the optimal product to customers. Dash CAE (UK), a design & engineering company, has adopted the 3D printing technology for its prototyping applications, including turbo injection systems, composite panels, and for Formula One wind tunnel model, to reduce the overall manufacturing cost. The market is emerging from its developing stage as companies are now using CAD software in their product development phases along with prototyping applications. Growing advancements in the technology and the increasing investments in R&D have enabled the incorporation of 3D printers in the manufacturing stage. 3D printers are widely used in various fields including dentistry, fashion, automotive, and aerospace, among others. Increasing government investments in 3D printing are also likely to influence the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, the Dubai government has increased its investments to ensure that 25% buildings in Dubai are 3D printed by 2030.

Restraint: High cost and availability of open-source software

The currently available open-source software is anticipated to restrain the market growth for 3D CAD software over the projected period. The software is easily available on the web; however, vendors charge for support, customization, and maintenance services. Currently, Linux has been leading the open architecture software market. This software has been a boon for small software vendors, due to which large enterprises have been facing negative impacts. Minor flaws and bugs can be tested and fixed immediately in the open-source technology, which acts as the primary driver for its growth. However, in a closed source technology, it becomes difficult for the company to rectify errors due to limited resources such as developers and testers. For instance, Microsoft spent a longer time resolving the Internet Explorer zero-day flaw. Furthermore, the high price of the software is negatively affecting the industry growth. In order to remain competitive, vendors offer their products and services at a price similar to the ones offered by their competitors.
