Current Status of 3D Printing Material and its Future Aspect

Abstract

Additive manufacturing systems were invented about 30 years ago, and their products have been used in the field of various industries for utilizing our life, such as design, production and life science. Reentry the systems are called “3D-Printer” to give evolutional technology for future production. In this paper the current status of the materials for these systems were reviewed. The properties of the 3D object, output of the 3D printer, is not enough level as common industrial products. Development and enhancement of the materials for each 3D printer is strongly needed to become common technology.
