Wohlers Report
2003 is a global market study developed with input from 45 experts,
40 service
providers, 26 system manufacturers, and countless others worldwide. To
support the review and analysis, the softbound publication includes 27 charts and graphs,

annual report has established a tradition of covering all facets of rapid prototyping, including business,
product, market, technology, and application.
The report addresses many aspects of rapid prototyping, including the industries served, applications, revenues, unit sales, and forecasts. It also provides current information on industry trends and developments in the areas of service providers, advanced approaches to tooling, system manufacturers, and technology advances in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world
The report covers research and development activities, growth trends in CAD solid modeling, rapid prototyping materials, medical modeling, rapid manufacturing, and reverse engineering.

"Terry Wohlers is the spokesperson
for the overall rapid prototyping industry. Every year, he publishes the
Wohlers Report, a comprehensive rundown of RP advances. He represents
better than anyone else the mainstream rapid prototyping industry."
Preston Smith, Lead Co-author of Developing

have purchased market reports in other industries for $30,000 that do
not contain as much information.
The purchase of the Wohlers Report every year is a no-brainer."

wonder if the industry knows how fortunate it is to have this mirror? Few
