Three dimensional printed electronics or 3D printed electronics is
one of the fastest growing technologies in the electronics sector. 3D
printers enable printing of nano scale circuits on various substrates
and materials, with high accuracy. The 3D printing of electronics
requires 3D printers, tailored to the printing of electronic
circuits. Hence these printers are different from those 3D printers
which are used to develop prototypes of electronics and equipments
among others. 3D printed electronics can be utilized to print on
glass, plastics, ceramics and other materials including 2D and 3D
substrates. 3D printing of electronics allows for interconnect
printing on 2D and 3D substrates, multilevel interconnect printing by
usage of dielectric material as printing material, and conformal
interconnects on 3D surfaces among others. 3D printed electronics
generally utilizes nano particle inks. The inks are placed on an
atomizer which creates droplets of diameters 2-5 microns. When the
droplets are released by the atomizer, a mist is formed. The mist is
transferred to the deposition head with the aid of sheath gas,
generally compressed air or dry nitrogen. The sheath gas also aids in
preventing clogging of the nozzle. The nozzle sprays the mix of
printing ink mist and sheath gas over the printing surface. The whole
process is guided by the computer aided design (CAD) drawings of the
circuits and electronics. The printed features can have a wide
thickness range, ranging from 10 microns to even 3 millimeters.

The market for 3D printed electronics is primarily driven by the
various advantages offered by usage of 3D printers. 3D printed
electronics have been proven to have higher efficiency and accuracy.
Also, there is less wastage in production process, as the production
is strictly controlled by the CAD drawing and precise deposition of
materials occurs. Additionally, 3D printing of electronics don’t
require masks or stencil outlines, has a wide range of thickness
options, can be printed on various materials and doesn’t require
the processes of plating or etching. Furthermore, the printing
process is highly scalable and can be optimized for large scale
production of 3D printed electronics. Such advantages have been
positively impacting the growth of the market for 3D printed
electronics. However, considering the huge demand for electronics
globally, 3D printers for electronics are deemed to be slower than
traditionally manufactured electronics and also require to have wider
application scope, for the industry to adopt the same. Currently, end
users of electronics demands highly efficient devices and higher
functionality of electronics. 3D printed electronics can meet such
requirements. Further research and development on 3D printers and 3D
printed electronics can be expected to offer good growth
opportunities for this market, during the forecast period.
On the basis of type, the market for 3D printed electronics has been
segmented into moulded interconnects devices, circuits, antennas and
others. 3D printed antennas segment has been growing at a fast pace
and is expected to maintain its fast growth pace, during the forecast
period. On the basis of printer type, the market is segmented into
single material and multi material. By end-use, the market has been
segmented into thin aerospace & defense, automotive, consumer
electronics, research and others. The global market for 3D printed
electronics, by region, has been segmented into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South America and Middle-East &
Africa (MEA). North America was the largest market in 2016, followed
by Europe and Asia Pacific. The larger market share of North America
can be attributed to the faster adoption of new technology.
