3. INTRODUCTION TO 3D PRINTING
In traditional manufacturing process objects were manufactured by removing
unwanted portion from solid cast of material whereas in 3D printing an object is
built by adding layer over layer of material in a predefined pattern.
3D printing, also known as additive printing technology, which allows
manufacturers to develop objects using a digital file

On Demand
Crowdsourcing

6. MAJOR 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
Fused Deposition
Modeling
3D printers using FDM technology
manufacture parts by heating up
thermoplastic material into
a semi liquid state and then applying it
layer by layer to create desired
object
Selective Laser
Sintering
Laser sintering is a 3D manufacturing
technique, which utilizes a laser (example
a carbon dioxide laser) as the source of
power to sinter powdered material.
This laser is used to fuse small
particles of material into a three-
dimensional designStereo lithography
An object is built layer-by-layer starting
from bottom to top in a container
consisting of liquid polymer, which
hardens when exposed to a laser beam
Laminated Object
Manufacturing
In laminated object manufacturing
layers of paper or plastic are fused
together using pressure & heat and
later cut into desired shape
with a computer controlled laser
or blade.
Electron Beam Melting
Electron Beam Melting is an additive manufacturing technique
which melts powdered metal within a vacuum using a high
power electron beam. When a layer is processed, the powder
film moves down and an automated arm adds the next layer
of material, which is melted by the electron beam to form
the subsequent segment of the model.

8. KEY 3D PRINTING BUSINESS MODELS
Contract based manufacturing- In this model a manufacturing firm
outsources its work to a 3D printing company. Example- Voxeljet Ag
In House 3D printing- The manufacturers have the in-house capability to build
objects using 3D printing technology. Example Ford Motors
3D printing service- Clients place their order or design desired products
online on the 3D printing companies website which are later developed and
delivered by the company to the customers. Example- Ponoko
Retail 3D printing- There are various 3D printers available in market which
are used by customers to create products at home. Example- 3D Systems

Global 3D Scanning Market Size & Forcast, (2013-2020)
The 3D scanning is a process in which three-dimensional attributes of an object are captured
along with information such as colour and texture. The technology saves time, cost and efforts
during the manufacturing process and improves the quality of output.

Three-Dimensional (3D) Technology Market By Products, Size & Forcast, (2013-2020)
The multiple dimensional technologies have come a long way from two-dimensional (2D) to three-
dimensional (3D) technologies. The 2D technology has had a long stay in the market; however,
technological advancements have developed the 3D technology to the extent that it is being used
in multiple applications, namely 3D Printing Industry, Entertainment, Healthcare, Government and
Defense, Aerospace, Industrial and Manufacturing and Architecture.
