3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is the process of making 3D objects with plastic, metal, and composite materials. It uses computer-aided design to create 3D objects such as physical models, prototypes, patterns, tooling components, and production parts. A 3D printer can create the 3D object of almost any shape without any molding, assembly, or the use of machines. It helps in making high-end goods at reduced costs.

In the Automotive and Aerospace industries, the use of 3D printing enables manufacturers to make the prototype of complex parts with high efficiency. Fashion designers also use 3D printing to create a prototype of jewelry and clothing by using materials such as nylon.

Further, researchers are seeking ways to use 3D printing to make prosthetic parts using biological materials such as cartilage, bone, and skin. The 3D printing technology is an evolving technology, which serves industries such as Automotive, Healthcare, and Aerospace, and is expected to find new applications in other industries as well.

The analysts forecast the 3D Printer market in South Korea to grow at a CAGR of 29.7 percent over the period 2013-2018.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the 3D Printer market in South Korea for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales as well as the unit shipments of 3D printers in South Korea. It does not consider 3D printer-related software or printing materials into consideration while calculating the market size.

The report, the 3D Printer Market in South Korea 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the landscape of the 3D Printer market in South Korea and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The rapid growth of 3D printing among entrepreneurs and consumers is one of the major trends in this market. Reduced costs of 3D printers have made them accessible to small entrepreneurs and consumers who were earlier unable to afford this expensive technology.

This has sparked innovation and creativity, allowing them to create custom objects and spare parts, from toys to artificial limbs.
