Dublin, Feb. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "3D Printing Market by Printer Type, Materials, Software, Applications, Services and Solutions by Industry Vertical and Region 2021 - 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report provides a multi-dimensional analysis of the 3D Printing market including hardware manufacturers, service providers, application providers, software providers, raw material providers, and communities. The report also assesses the market impact of intellectual property, different technologies and strategies, raw material supplies, and other key factors across industry verticals globally and regionally including forecasts for 2021 to 2026.

This report also evaluates companies involved in the 3D printing solutions value chain. For example, HP's MJF technology is a powder-based 3D printing technology that does not rely upon lasers. MFJ uses fine-grained materials, allowing for layers as thin as 80 microns. Thin printed layers have higher density and lower porosity, leading to smooth surfaces right out of the printer. Applications of MFJ 3D printing include prototypes for form, fit and function testing.

Select Report Findings:

• Production-as-a-Service business model is fast-growing solution area
• Design and engineering for 3D printing will expand beyond traditional 2D CAD technologies
• Growth of new materials is spawning a 3D printing market for previously unaddressed products
• Desktop 3D printer usage will be the foundation for an emerging prosumer SMB and SOHO marketplace
