Reduction in manufacturing cost and process downtime contributed to the growth of the 3D printing services market. 3D printing technology helps companies greatly reduce their manufacturing costs, reduce downtime and minimize waste. With the use of 3D printing for prototyping, companies can significantly lower the cost of developing new products. The minimal labor/workforce involved in this process also contributes to the low manufacturing costs. Due to 3D printing the manufacturing time can be reduced from months to days. For instance, to print a phone case it takes around 20 minutes, and similarly a 2*4 Lego can be printed in 4 minutes. Therefore, reduction in manufacturing costs and process downtime increased demand for the 3D printing services market. Intellectual property on printing anything which has property rights issues is considered unauthorized and subjected to an act of patent infringement. This factor hampers the growth of 3D printing service market growth. In 3D printing market, the products which are available to print are less. 3D printing products are widely used in the health care industry. Pharmaceutical companies can drastically improve the drug research and development (R&D) by 3D printing as the technology could even be used to print human organs and tissue. However, to print an organ one should buy the patent of the 3D building product code, which makes the product cost high. Therefore, intellectual property on printing products hampers the growth of the 3D printing service market. 3D printing service providers are implementing Cloud-based 3D printing services. Cloud-based 3D printing management platform can be used by any individual, enterprises, schools, and service bureaus to render, fix, store 3D design securely and stream 3D design to the 3D printer with complete data tracking and analytics.
