3D printing technology is growing at a rapid pace and is currently being adopted by small and large scale industries globally. A large number of manufacturers are inclining on 3D printing technology and advanced filament material for extrusion 3D printing. 3D printing is unlikely to replace many conventional manufacturing methods, yet there is a wide range of applications where a 3D printer can deliver a design quickly, with high accuracy.
The advantages associated with the 3D printing is that the designer can make better decisions in selecting manufacturing methods and facilitates to provide an optimal product. Manufacturers of 3D printing filament focus on engineered formulation blends and customer offered compounds, private labeling with 3D printers.
Along with this, the 3D printing filament manufacturers are also developing multi-property materials for 3D printing filament. In 3D printing, the molten filament is placed in layers through an adjustable nozzle to form a three-dimensional structure. The individual layers fuse onto one another, and the material solidifies as it cools down, allowing complex geometries to be realized as 3D prototypes. The market for 3D printing filament is expected to grow during the forecast period.
As the application of 3D printing is increasing in the industry, the need for advanced materials is high, resulting in the designing of new and innovative material by various 3D printing filament manufacturers. Demand for advanced 3D printing filament material is continuously rising in the end use industries demanding quality coupled with high performance.
Many 3D filament manufacturers are investing in developing 3D printing filament material with superior chemical, thermal, electrical, and performance to encounter the need of key end-use industries including defense, aerospace, and consumer goods.
Research and development activities have amplified to provide advanced and innovative eco-friendly material solutions giving plunge to the growth of global 3D printing filament market. Moreover, the manufacturers of 3D printing filament are focusing on the development of eco-friendly polylactic acid (PLA) material owing to its bio-degradable nature. The market for 3D printing filament is anticipated to have a positive outlook during the forecast period.
