Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as digital fabrication technology and additive manufacturing (AM), refers to the process of creating a physical object from a digital design. It utilizes different materials, such as plastics, epoxy resins, ceramics, metals, carbon fibers, graphite and graphene, nitinol, and paper. It allows rapid prototyping, which is the fast fabrication of a physical part, model, or assembly using 3D computer aided design (CAD). It currently finds extensive applications in the automotive, electronics, and healthcare industries for mass customization and the production of open-source designs. As a result, the demand for 3D printing materials is rising across the globe.
3D Printing Materials Market Trends:
Hearing aids manufacturers are increasingly relying on 3D printing to create prototypes and mass produce their products using custom scans. This, in confluence with rising technological advancements, represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, biomaterials used in biomedical 3D printing technology, such as metals, ceramics, hard polymers and composites, are rigid. These materials are utilized in orthopedic and dental applications as they can produce customized solutions on account of their inherent structural and morphological characteristics. Besides this, polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), flexible photopolymers, silicone, and elastomer-based materials are the most commonly used 3D printing materials in robotics. Furthermore, 3D printing technology offers freeform fabrication, sustainable and efficient manufacturing, and a shorter time from design to production as compared to subtractive or conventional manufacturing technology. In addition, it does not require molds for manufacturing parts, which results in time and cost savings. These benefits, coupled with the thriving aviation industry, are anticipated to create a positive outlook for the market.
