The Future of the Sand Industry, page-3

One of those links from my previous post didn't work properly. Here's two better ones to look at.

Here's a quote out of "The Australian" today about 3D printing. (Stuart Kennedy).

"It is hard to find a research report on 3D printing that isn't extremely bullish. Canalys says the global market in sales and materials hit US$2.5b in 2013 and will balloon to $US16b by 2018.

"Wohlers Associates forecasts revenues from all products and services in the 3D printing industry to better $US21b. Business and medical use will drive most of the growth".

If you look at that the Metalysis website, you can clearly see that the high end Titanium products like Rutile (TiO2 - 95%+) will be extensively used both within the business and medical world.

Anyone with a good rutile deposit is going to make some serious coin. Hence why Iluka are pumping so much money into Metalysis.
