Bangalore, December 17 2017: At its first user conference here, global leader in applied additive technology solution– Stratasys -- saw over 300 key industry players and end-users exchange insights on the latest 3D Printing trends and additive manufacturing.
Stratasys used the opportunity to unveil its Voxel Print software solution that provides true voxel level control during the design and 3D printing process to manipulate 3D printed material concentrations, structures and color mapping of a model.
Netscribes Research finds, the global 3D healthcare printing market is expected to be worth $ 1.3 billion by 2020. 3D printing technology is predominantly being used in the field of aerospace, automotive, education, healthcare and many other industries.
