Latest News- Metal Material Based 3D Printing Market: Iron-based is expected to lead the Type segment during 2025-2029

The Metal Material Based 3D Printing Market is being driven by Rise in adoption of customized and personalized metal products

The Metal Material Based 3D Printing Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.9% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 3095.5 billion. Metal material based 3D printing market has experienced exponential growth due to technological advancements in additive manufacturing techniques. Notably, laser-based metal 3D printing methods, including Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED), have undergone significant enhancements. LPBF utilizes a high-powered laser to melt and fuse layers of metal powder, producing intricate and precise metal components with superior surface finish. Conversely, DED technology deposits metal wire or powder into a melt pool created by a laser or electron beam, enabling the fabrication of complex structures layer by layer. These advancements have broadened the scope and applications of metal additive manufacturing, leading to its widespread adoption in various industries.
