3D printing metals market touched USD 563 Million in 2019 and is anticipated to reach USD 3,883 million in 2027, the market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 27.3% during the forecast period (2020-2027) attributed to rapid industrialization around the world.

3D printing is also referred as additive manufacturing which is a process of developing three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The additive process is used to achieve a 3D printed object. In this process, an object is made by laying down successive layers of material until the required object is created. Metals constitute one of the major materials used in 3D printing.
