3D printing also referred as additive manufacturing (AM), is a
technique used to create a 3D object from a digital file. The 3D object is
created by successive layering of material under computer control as additive
process. Any 3D geometrical shaped object can be prepared using this process. A
virtual design of 3D object is made using software's such as Computer Aided
Design (CAD). From the year 2012, the 3D printing market got a global acknowledgement
and continued to spur the manufacturing and sale of 3D printing devices.

The high degree of accuracy of manufactured products from optimal
use of raw materials is a major factor bolstering the global 3D printing
market. Using this technique, multiple materials can be employed for printing
same object allowing to customize the product. In addition, it provides ample
of savings on tooling over the traditional manufacturing techniques. A
significant reduction in manufacturing cost and time can be achieved by
applying 3D printing technique in production along with efficient logistics
management. Additionally, human errors generated during development of an
object can be minimized, thereby, delivering high quality output. The
throughput of products is expected to increase post-implementation of 3D
printing technique in manufacturing processes.
High production cost for an individual user is one of the factor
hindering the global 3D printing market. Additionally, the setup and software
required for implying 3D printing is costly, thereby further restricting it's
to a limited number of users. Additionally, the production of large objects
consumes more time with 3D printing as compared to traditional manufacturing
methods showing the inability of a 3D printer to produce in bulk in quick time,
thereby restricting the global 3D printing market. The lack of skilled labor
capable of operating 3D printing devices coupled with the lack of assistance
from channel partners, thereby making it difficult for unskilled labor to
operate the device, hinders the global 3D printing market.
The 3D printing market is at a nascent stage and is expected to
expand at a robust rate as various sectors, such as healthcare & medical,
automotive & aerospace, are endorsing this technology. Also, 3D printing
technology offers numerous benefits over the traditional manufacturing techniques,
and is thus expected to replace traditional techniques during the forecast
period. Increasing development of 3D scan and 3D print technology for better
print quality are further expected to catalyze the global 3D printing market.
The global 3D printing market is segmented on basis of technology
into stereolithography (SL), jetting technology, laser sintering, electron beam
melting (EBM), deposition modelling, laminated object manufacturing (LOM), and
three dimensional printing (3DP). The market is further divided based on
material used as polymers, metals & alloys, ceramics, and others (wax, lay
wood, plastic film, metal foil and paper). Additionally, the global 3D printing
market is segmented based on applications, namely: aerospace industry,
automotive industry, consumer products, education & research, government
& defense, healthcare industry, industrial/business machines and other
applications (such as architecture, forensics, arts, and fashion among others).
Geographically, the global 3D printing market is divided into five
major regions, namely: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East
& Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). Currently, North America dominates
the global 3D printing market owing to rapid adoption of this technology in
healthcare & medical, aerospace and automotive industries.
