Top 3D Printing Startups in India
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process in which a three-dimensional object is created by adding successive layers of materials. Hence, complex shapes or objects can be created with lesser amounts of material and manpower. Moreover, it is a sophisticated process that is cost-efficient and leads to lower wastage. The 3D printing market is a niche segment in India. However, the industry is said to reach USD 79M by 2021.
