3D printing is an innovative manufacturing method that provides detailed visualization of a three-dimensional object using computer software. 3D printing metal production involves the addition of material layers to produce solid 3D objects; each layer can be viewed as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the object. Compared to traditional production methods, these metals help to produce complex shapes using less material. The manufacturers use 3D printers to create prototypes extensively; this method is called rapid prototyping. 3D printing metal is also known as additive manufacturing. The 3D printing metals enable the fastest transition from the design stage to production of the final part. It also helps to reduce the after-processing time.

There are various factors which are driving the market of 3D printing metal which includes increasing demand for 3D printing and rising application in aerospace and defense sector. Increasing demand for 3D metal printing is likely to boost product utilization, particularly in aerospace & defense applications. Cost and weight reduction of 3D printers have brought in awareness among the manufacturers which involved them in increasing their profits, lower the lead times, and enhance the quality of their product by utilizing manufacturing-grade printing machines. Whereas, there are some restraint for the market such as high maintenances cost and high energy consumption.

The global 3D printing metal market is segmented into type and application. On the basis of type, the market is further segmented into nickel, aluminum, titanium, steel, and others which include cobalt-chrome & precious metal. On the basis of application, the market is sub-segmented into automotive, medical & dental, aerospace & defense, and others. Titanium offers excellent resistance to rust and high strength for heavy engineering applications. It is commonly used in the aerospace & defense industry to manufacture engine parts and airframes. Due to their light weight and excellent heat resistance, titanium alloys are mainly used in the aerospace industry. Titanium is also widely used in medical implants as a biocompatible material.

There are various companies providing 3D printing metal solutions such as Carpenter Technology Corp., EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems, 3D Systems Corp., TRUMPF GmbH + Co. KG, Equispheres, Inc., General Electric, Co., and Höganäs AB among various others. By adopting various market strategies such as product launch, merger & acquisition, and partnerships collaborations; these market players are gaining a strong position in the market. For instance, in November 2018, 3D systems launched DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350, a metal 3D printing platform used for the production of critical components for industrial applications such as aerospace, healthcare, and transportation.
