3D Printing Market Dynamics

3D Printing Market Drivers

Growing Consumerism in the Automotive Industry 

  • 3D printing is increasingly used in the automotive industry to create scale models for testing purposes. They are also used for components, such as bellows, front bumpers, air conditioning ducting, suspension wishbones, dashboard interfaces, alternator mounting brackets, battery covers, etc. Automotive OEM manufacturers use 3D printing for rapid prototyping. 

3D Printing Market Restraints 

High Cost of Materials  

  • 3D printing is a convenient but expensive way to manufacture products due to high material cost which is a major limiting factor for market growth. These high standards are due to the accuracy and composition required for 3D printing. The average cost of metal materials for 3D printing is USD 500.0 per kg which makes it very difficult to use in general applications because the end-product costs are very high as compared to sales.
