Dublin, Oct. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/htm6q9/global_additive)
has announced the addition of the
"Global Additive Manufacturing Market (2012 - 2017) - By
Application & Technology" report to their offering.
Additive manufacturing 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. The AM is a potentially growing market in every
manufacturing sector with a global market of $1,843.2 million in
2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% to reach $3,471.9
million by 2017.
The global additive manufacturing devices market has been segmented
into different areas such as, automotives, consumer products,
business machines, medical, academic, aerospace,
government/military and others. Automotives or motor vehicles
account for the largest share in this market, primarily due to the
easy applications of 3D printing in the production of end-products
(engines, spare parts, other interior, and exterior parts) as
compared to other segments such as consumer products and business
machines, which have limited usage in manufacturing of
end-products. Rising healthcare expenditure in emerging economies
provide growth opportunities for the additive manufacturing
technologies, as new healthcare facilities have come up in these
areas.
In this report, we are mainly focusing on medical applications of
additive manufacturing. Within the medical industry,
additive manufacturing is used in making end-products such as
surgical equipments, prosthetics & implants, and scaffolds. The
market is growing due to the rising incidence of surgeries, coupled
with increasing awareness and advances in technology. Surgical
equipments account for the largest share in this market due to
their wide applicability.
