IFA 2026 Shows Where Multicolor 3D Printing Is Headed

Innovation For All (IFA) is best known for televisions, appliances, and consumer electronics. But this year’s show in Berlin also gave 3D printing companies plenty of room to show where desktop manufacturing is headed. It’s a market we follow closely at 3DPrint.com, as cheaper, more capable machines become available. After all, Additive Manufacturing Research estimates that the polymer extrusion 3D printing market reached $2.2 billion in 2025 and could grow to $6.1 billion by 2034, with low-cost systems driving much of that growth.
