The fundamental purpose of a 3D printer is to transform an idea into a physical object quickly. 3D printing technologies are creating a fundamental paradigm shift that will change how companies and individuals model prototypes, and the speed at which they can bring products to market - such as for medical devices.
This research report - "3D Printing Market Potential: Changing the Face of Product Development, Sales and Manufacturing" - analyzes the potential of the 3D printing technologies and market potential, and the various applications where 3D printing is currently being used. We profile 3D printing applications in industries such as aerospace, defense, healthcare, automotive, and others.
3D printing is a process that makes three-dimensional objects. In this process, an object is created by laying down several layers of material. There are many types of material that can be used to build the 3D model, giving the designer unprecedented control and speed in a prototype project.
Those purchasing the report will learn how 3D printing has been used for years in dental applications, human organ production, military and aerospace, auto manufacturing, and even in the food industry.
This report analyzes the technologies that are used in 3D printing, and the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing. We also examine the commercial and consumer printers on the market, as well as online print-on-demand services.
