DUBLIN, January 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h2c3wv/global_3d_printer) has announced the addition of the "Global 3D Printer Market 2016-2020" report to their offering. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )The reports forecasts that the global 3D printer market will grow at a CAGR of 41.5% during the period 2016-2020. 3D printing, also known as AM, uses CAD to create an object. It is a process of making 3D objects using plastic, metal, and composite materials, usually layer upon layer, to build physical models, prototypes, patterns, tooling components, and production parts. Basically, in 3D printing, the first step is to make a virtual design of the desired object, and this virtual design is made in a CAD file by using a 3D scanner or by using a 3D modeling program. The next step, after getting the 3D file, is to print it; the 3D modeling software in the 3D printer will "slice" the design into numerous layers, and uses the material to create the object layer by layer. Global 3D Printer Market has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.
