3D printing is nothing but an additive manufacturing process in which a physical object is made from a three-dimensional digital model, characteristically by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession. 3D printing process was first introduced in early 1980s by elaborating manufacturing of three-dimensional plastic models.

3D printing finds huge application in wide range of end use industries such as healthcare, automotive, construction and aerospace among others. It is used in surgical processes in form of 3D printing-centric therapies which originally began in mid-1990s under anatomical modelling of reconstructive surgery planning. Later years saw the evolution of 3D printing-centric therapies in form of design and production of patient-matched implants. Additionally, numerous automotive manufacturers employ 3D printing technology to develop innovative designs with low production costs and lesser weight. Notably, the United States Air Force and the Israeli Air Force actively employ a 3D printer to design and produce spare parts of defence aircrafts.
Rising demand for 3D printing in end-use industries like building & construction and automotive & transportation in emerging countries is the key factors attributed to the market growth. Furthermore, investment inflow in 3d printing projects building is also expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. On the other hand, restraints on product size and limited availability of raw materials are some of the factors which are proving to be major hindrance to this market. However, adoption of 3D printing in several applications is expected to create major growth opportunities during the forecast period.
