Global Industrial 3D Printing Market Definition

3D printing also known as desktop fabrication or additive production is the method of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file or computer-aided design (CAD) model. The making of a 3D printed object is accomplished utilizing additive processes. In an additive method, an object is made by laying down consecutive layers of fabric until the item is made. Each of these layers is seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the thing. 3D printing is that the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is surgical operation/hollowing out a chunk of metal o

r plastic.3D printing enables to get complex shapes using fewer materials than traditional manufacturing techniques. There are a few sorts of materials that are used for 3D printing like thermoplastics, metals (including powders), resins, and ceramics.

The 3D printing technology can be categorized into three types sintering, melting, and stereolithography. Sintering may be a technology where the fabric is heated, but not the purpose of melting, to make high-resolution items. Metal powder is employed for direct metal laser sintering while thermoplastic powders are used for selective laser sintering. Whereas the melting process of 3D printing involves powder bed fusion, electromagnetic wave melting, and direct energy deposition, these use lasers, electric arcs, or electron beams to print objects by melting the materials together and Stereolithography utilizes photopolymerization to make parts. This technology uses the right light to interact with the fabric in a selective manner to cure and solidify a cross-section of the article in thin layers.

Global Industrial 3D Printing Market Overview

3D printing is broadly adopted in the industrial sector owing to the growing demand for enhanced product manufacturing and a shorter time to market. The global industrial 3D printing market has shown significant growth, from the initial stages of production of simple plastic models to making of useful components, in the fields of fashion, surgical implants & prosthetics, batteries, robots, cloth, and others. With the development in material construction, such as the emerging use of polymers and metals, additive manufacturing has evolved from a prototyping tool to a functional part for fabrication. New materials, shorter lead times, and innovative finishes while maintaining the standards (FDA, ASTM, and ISO) are enabling the technology to be integrated with the manufacturing processes. In addition, the decreased prices of additive manufacturing-based machines and developing expertise and recognition have increased this technology’s availability.

Newer and advanced fused deposition modeling techniques have enabled the use of diverse materials, thereby encouraging widespread adoption across various industries over the years. Moreover, the huge amount of investments in 3D Printing Projects have enhanced digitalization and enabled speedy growth for the additive manufacturing industry, in turn, encouraging the growth of the market. Further, the increasing participation and investments from the government to develop a sustainable and successful additive manufacturing ecosystem will have a huge impact on the market.

However, the Absence of uniformity has restraint the consistency of each 3D printing process as it differs due to the uncontrolled process variables and material differences based on machine and manufacturer. Few monitoring procedures meet specific standards by improving the process inconsistencies of 3D printing. The ability to develop detailed and precise mathematical models through 3D printing is complicated, particularly in complex and sophisticated applications (such as aerospace, military/defense, and healthcare) due to the insufficient data available for process control. The constraints in the planning phase, process control, and pre-and post-production procedures may lead to manufacturing failure and inaccurate outputs.

Furthermore, there has been an increase in demand for healthcare supplies due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The healthcare industry across the globe has been severely affected by the emergence of the COVID-19 outbreak. Heightened demand for masks, personal protective equipment, testing equipment, and other medical supplies has prompted the manufacturers of these components to focus on their production. The increase in the number of patients and the unavailability of raw materials to produce medical devices and personal protective equipment has created a huge interruption in the supply chain across the globe. This has prompted the producers to seek alternatives that can help produce these components in bulk and are as efficient as the original equipment.
