The increasing adoption of 3D printing technology, where ABS is a preferred material due to its excellent mechanical properties and ease of use will favor the market growth. The strong demand for customized toughness in the healthcare, automotive and aerospace industries is driving the product adoption in additive manufacturing. The shift towards miniaturization and smart electronics is boosting the production of lightweight, durable, and high-performance components. The generation of bio-based ABS to address the environmental concerns through the addition of renewable resources is thereby enhancing the sustainability of the products.
For instance, in March 2024, Meltio introduced its latest M600 3D printer at the AMUG conference in Chicago, featuring a Blue Laser deposition head for industrial-scale production in machine shops and 24/7 environments.
