The material extrusion process is one of the most common 3D printing processes. Material extrusion began as a quick prototype process but has become a revolutionary production technology for the industrial, medical, automotive, and aerospace industries. A wide variety of materials can be used in material extrusion 3D printing extrudes such as plastics: ABS, PLA, PETG, Nylon, TPU, PVA, PC, HIPS, and others, metals: Stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, nickel, and others, ceramics: Alumina, zirconia, porcelain, silica, and others, composites: carbon fiber, fiberglass, metal matrix composites, and others.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing demand for consumer electronics, high demand for dental and orthodontics products, high demand for prosthetics and implants, increasing applications in the manufacturing industry, rapid growth of the automotive & construction industry, and increase in research and development are the major factors expected to drive the growth of the global 3D printing extrusion materials market.
For instance, 3D printing materials are extensively used in the automotive industry to manufacture scaled models for testing. Automotive OEM manufacturers are using such 3D printing materials for rapid prototyping. Some of the largest automotive manufacturers are using these materials for manufacturing spare parts and metal prototypes. Thereby, with the rapid growth of the automotive industry, the use of 3D printing extrusion materials is also increasing.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Automotive Mission Plan 2016-26 is a mutual initiative by the government of India and the Indian automotive industry to lay down the roadmap for the development of the industry.
