Product Definition:
Polylactic acid is a thermoplastic that can be used for 3D printing. It is made from renewable resources, such as cornstarch, so it is environmentally friendly. Polylactic acid has a low melting point, so it can be printed using an FDM printer without a heated bed.
1.75MM:
1.75mm refers to the thickness of Polylactic Acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer, which is used in manufacturing 3D printing filaments for consumer and industrial applications. The growth factor in PLA filament for 3D printing market is driven by factors such as its ability to be compostable, low cost & weight coupled with high-temperature resistance during the extrusion process.
3MM or 2.85 MM:
3MM or 2.85 MM refers to the size of polymer used for 3D printing in PLA. The higher the number, the smaller is the molecular weight and vice versa. The lower limit is set by waxes like paraffin, beeswax and petrolatum; while polymers with high molecular weight above 200 are called as super-high viscosity (SHV) polymers because they have a high viscosity at low temperatures.
Application Insights:
Based on application, the market has been segmented into industrial, hobbyist and education. The industrial application dominated the overall industry in terms of revenue share in 2017. PLA is widely used for manufacturing replacement parts for various machines and equipment owing to its properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and biocompatibility. These factors are responsible for driving the demand from end-use industries including automotive, construction and medical devices which use a large number of 3D printers across various price points.
The growth of 3D printing technology in architecture is attributed to its ability to create solid objects from digital designs that can be printed layer by layer using only plastic materials. This has led to an increase in architectural design files being uploaded onto internet servers which enables users worldwide access to download these files directly into a 3D printer's memory card or USB port using a standard computer network connection (WIFI).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a well-established healthcare sector and rapid adoption of advanced technologies. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to increasing investments in research & development activities for developing novel products.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, consumer goods, aerospace and others. Increasing disposable income levels coupled with growing population are likely contributors toward regional market growth.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 3D printing technology from various industries
- Rising popularity of polylactic acid for 3D printing owing to its properties such as biodegradability and environmental friendliness
- Growing research and development activities in the field of 3D printing technology
- Technological advancements in the field of 3D printing that would lead to higher efficiency and accuracy
