The global 3D printed wearables market size was US$ 3.5 billion in 2021. The global 3D printed wearable market is forecast to grow to US$ 6.1 billion by 2030 by registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
An innovative technique for developing 3-dimensional objects by depositing layers of printing material is called 3D printing. The process is commonly referred to as additive manufacturing. By employing a process known as layering, 3D printing transforms computer models into tangible items. This tool-free process aids in making fully dense metallic pieces with great precision in a shorter amount of time. Consumer wearables made with 3D printing have helped the technology become more well-known in recent years. Numerous wearables, including fitness trackers, smartwatches, fabrics, and sporting goods, are available in the 3D printed wearable market. With the advent of 3D metal printing technology, producers are now able to produce intricate structures with a level of design flexibility that was previously impossible.
