3D printing refers to a process wherein three-dimensional solid objects are prepared using a digital file. These objects are manufactured using additives and a layered development framework, which prevents the need for drilling and cutting. As compared to the conventional printing technology, 3D printing is stable, durable, flexible and eliminates wastage of raw materials. According to IMARC Group’s 3D printing market analysis, the market reached a value of US$ 9.2 Billion in 2018.

The 3D printing technology is utilized in the automotive sector for manufacturing prototypes as well as different functional parts since it aids users in creating digital models. Similarly, it is used in the fashion industry for making different jewelry and nylon-based clothing designs. The technology is also employed in the production of customized braces, tooth implants and hearing aid shells. Furthermore, manufacturers are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to build prosthetic parts using biological materials such as skin, bone and cartilage, which is anticipated to strengthen the market growth in upcoming years. Owing to this, the 3D printing market size is expected to reach a value of US$ 24.8 Billion by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 18% during the forecast period (2019-2024).
