NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2015 — (PRNewswire) — 3D printing materials are raw materials used in the manufacture of objects through 3D printers. Digital files used for 3D printing are converted into tangible objects with the help of 3D materials. These materials possess enhanced properties such as durability, flexibility, stability and high sensitivity. 3D materials can be classified into plastics, ceramics, metals and others. Rising demand for 3D printing technology, regulatory support from the government and increasing adoption of 3D printing across government and education sectors is further expected to boost the demand for 3D printing materials in the next few years. Additionally, manufacturers of 3D printers are continuously focusing on the development of new 3D printing materials, which would provide improved surface finish and high strength 3D models. This, in turn, is expected to provide new opportunities for the 3D printing materials market.
