According to the new market research report “Global Additive Manufacturing Market By Application (Medical Devices, Automotives, & Aerospace) and Technology (3D Printing, Laser Sintering, Stereolithography, Fused Deposition Modeling, Electron Beam Melting, & Tissue Engineering)”, published by MarketsandMarkets™
Traditionally additive manufacturing in the medical field was considered as a technique for the production of prototypes or model.
The Additive Manufacturing Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5%, to reach $3,471.9 million.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is an automatic process used to create rapid prototypes and functional end-use parts. It takes virtual designs from Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, and transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal layer-wise cross-sections, until the model is complete. Various synonyms generally used for AM are additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and freeform fabrication.
