Because of the growing demand for 3D printing technologies, the aerospace, defence, and automotive industries, in particular, are driving the demand for 3D printing materials. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has opened up new possibilities for the design of high-tech products in the automotive industry. With additive manufacturing, safer, stronger, and lighter products can be designed in less time and at a lower cost. The ability to freely create new designs is a key factor in the growth of 3D printing in the aerospace and defence industries. Manufacturers no longer have to spend as much time or money on the supply chain as a result of streamlining the manufacturing process.

  • The electronics industry has a promising future.

3D printing has the potential to significantly improve the development of consumer goods and electronics. Prototyping is changing the way electronics are developed. One of its primary advantages is that it enables businesses to internally prototype electrical devices and PCBs, reducing the need for external PCB fabrication services. The use of 3D printers and materials increases design flexibility in the electronics industry. A variety of consumer items are being produced using 3D materials and tools, including eyeglasses, a carbon fibre bike, mascara brushes, helmet liners, insoles, and eyewear. The manufacturers' high flexibility and improved CAD design tools enable them to create any desired product form.

Market Restraint

  • High capital costs

Material costs make 3D printing more expensive than other manufacturing methods, creating a significant market barrier. The increased cost is due to 3D printing's stringent requirements for material purity and uniformity of composition. Metal materials for 3D printing are impractical due to the high cost of the finished product, which typically ranges from USD 250 to USD 500 per kilogramme. When compared to traditional production methods, the materials used in automobile industrial-grade 3D printers are very expensive. Furthermore, because they require specialised components, equipment, and high-voltage power sources, 3D printers are difficult to use and control.

Market Opportunity

  • Recent Innovations Making 3D Printing Available for Medical Applications

New biocompatible 3D printing materials are expanding 3D printing's medical applications. Using additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing), surgeons can create precise replicas of a patient's bones and organs, as well as custom cutting and drill guides. Specialised 3D printing for medical applications now accounts for nearly 16% of the industry. Prototypes can be created quickly during the design phase before production begins due to the nature of 3D printing materials and machinery. These materials are used extensively in the automotive and aerospace industries, for example. The method not only has the advantage of lower costs and production viability, but it also produces complex pieces very efficiently.
