Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, builds three-dimensional objects from digital CAD models by adding material layer by layer, rather than removing it as in traditional subtractive manufacturing<\/a>. Since emerging in the 2000s as part of the 4th industrial revolution, additive manufacturing<\/a> has moved well beyond prototyping into production across aerospace, medical, automotive, and consumer sectors. The global 3D printing materials market alone is projected to reach around $85-95 billion by 2035<\/strong>, reflecting the pace at which new 3D printing technologies are being adopted worldwide.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
