Global Automated 3D printing Market is projected to be valued $3.6 Billion by 2024; with a CAGR of 21.6% from 2017 to 2025. 3D printing technology is very versatile. It is often used for engineering prototypes and tools for manufacturing processes. The automotive industry has incorporated 3D printing throughout all processes and functions; from the design concept to near-end-of-life repairs. It enables faster production process of individual parts and prevents loss during a normal production process.3D printing also assists in customizing features including fancier geometries and light weight lattice structures and also offers much more variety to the ever-growing customer base.
Upsurge in the use of 3D printing technologies among industries such as government & automobile industries and rising demand for improved automotive designs with innovations are the factors supplementing the growth of the market. However, high implementation cost of this technology and lack of accuracy are the major hindrances for the growth of the market. Moreover, 3D printing also helps in customizing features including fancier geometries, light weight lattice structures, and others, and also offers much more variety for the growth of customer base to develop customized tools and reduce overall time which would provide several growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.
