Segment Coverage
3D printing is set to become the next industrial revolution. In the past, 3D printing technology was only used for industrial applications but now it is also being used in consumer goods. The industry has been successfully growing at a fast pace driven by applications in emerging fields, technological advancements and reduction in prices.
3D printing finds its applications in various fields including aerospace, healthcare, art, jewelry, fashion etc. Application of 3D printing technology in medical industry is one of the most important applications and the fastest growing segment. With 3D printing, surgeons can produce mockups of parts of their patient's body which needs to be operated upon.3D printing makes it possible to make a part from scratch in just hours. Furthermore, with increasing cost pressures on medical device/equipment manufacturers and manufacturer’s intense need to introduce innovative products, adoption of 3D printing means reducing the manufacturing life cycle and almost completely eliminate the traditional prototyping process.
The raw materials used in 3D printing market are basically divided into two major category i.e. plastics and metals. Plastics are commonly used in the 3D printing and also correspond to major market share but nowadays, metal as raw material is gaining. The major trends observed in the 3D printing market globally are increasing competition in industry, rise of printing as a service, mass customization, demand for better materials and increasing innovative use of 3D printing technology in diverse industries.
