London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2019 -- Market Definition

3D printing is one of the rapidly growing industries are plastic is the most common 3D printing material used worldwide.

Out of various types of plastics, one of the most common 3D printing plastic is PLA (polylactic acid), which is cost-effective, degradable and easy to 3D print, followed by ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). These materials are highly used based on their strength and durability.

Market Overview and Trends

Plastics have a competitive advantage over other materials in the 3D printing industry. Large number of OEMs adopt plastic materials as it is a substantial source of revenue generation.

Initially, researchers found that plastics such as polypropylene (PP), which is found in cottage cheese and yogurt containers, and polystyrene (PS), which is present in plastic utensils, were not practical for 3D printing. This directed scientists to study the efficiency of biodegradable plastic such as PLA, which is created from renewable sources.

Using biodegradable plastic for 3D printing has created opportunities for plastic recycling. Moreover, with varied modifications and compositions of material, applications of 3D printed plastics have increased in various industries.

3D printed plastic can be used in healthcare industry to create 3D models of organs, in automotive industry to prepare car parts replacement, in architecture sector to print models or also in aerospace industry. It can also be used for manufacturing prototypes at a lower cost.

As manufacturing plastic is easy and provides high level of details to the 3D printed model, its growing applications in various sectors opens new avenues in the industry.
