This can be attributed to its low cost and easy availability compared with other types of 3D printers.
Product Definition:
A 3D printer that uses plastic as its printing material. Plastic is often used to create prototypes or models, as it is cost effective and easy to print with.
FDM Thermoplastic:
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is a type of additive manufacturing used in 3D printers. It utilizes a material that can be melted and printed layer by layer. FDM technology uses liquid materials such as thermoplastic polymer binder resin, which is fused together to form the desired structure.
Polyjet Photopolymer Resin:
Polyjet photopolymer resin is a liquid material that is used in the manufacturing process of 3D printers. It’s properties such as viscosity, thermal stability and chemical resistance make it suitable for use in various types of 3D printing technologies.
Application Insights:
The aerospace and defense application segment led the global market in 2017. The demand for 3D printers in this sector is driven by their applications in prototyping, tool and mold making, as well as parts replacement. In addition, favorable government regulations that promote innovation are expected to drive the growth of additive manufacturing over the forecast period.
The automotive application segment is anticipated to witness a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for lightweight materials that reduce fuel consumption and increase safety. Furthermore, rapid prototyping technology allows manufacturers to test new product designs before they are manufactured on a large scale reducing development costs and time which further boosts industry growth.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 30% in terms of revenue owing to high demand from countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Rapid industrialization coupled with increasing investments by key players for manufacturing high-end products is also one of the major factors contributing towards regional growth.
North America ranks second after Asia Pacific in terms of revenue generation owing to increased spending on plastic parts production across various industries including automotive, aerospace and defense among others. Favorable government policies regarding 3D printing technology are also expected to drive regional growth over the forecast period.
