The term 3D printing is defined as the process of
making objects from 3D model data by using additive materials. This
process represents all additive processes, technologies, systems, and
applications and is also referred to as additive manufacturing. The
global 3D printing market comprised 3D printers, printing materials, and
service providers. The overall applications’ market includes both rapid
prototyping and rapid manufacturing.
The major market for 3D printing is in the Americas;
however, Europe and Asia-Pacific (APAC) are expected to grow at a high
CAGR. The application market for 3D printing can be divided into
aerospace industry, automotive industry, consumer, healthcare,
government & defense, industrial/business machines, education &
research, and others (arts, architecture, and forensics). 3D printing
application in healthcare is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over
the forecasted period.
