3D high performance plastics are specially designed plastics
with high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and, most-importantly,
temperature resistance. Stability at high temperature is the key criterion used
to differentiate high performance plastics from ordinary plastics. Most of the 3D
high performance polymers are manufactured by the polycondensation process as
amorphous, semi-crystalline or liquid crystalline polymers. The key types of
HPPs are fluoropolymers, high performance polyamides, polyphenylene sulfide,
liquid crystal polymers, sulfone polymers, aromatic ketone polymers, and
poly-imide. 3D
printing technology is considered as one of key transformative innovations in
the current scenario. In many end-use industries, such as electrical and
electronics, oil and gas, transport, medical and healthcare, defense, and
aerospace, it is constantly expanding its base. It is anticipated that increased
use of 3D printing technology in these sectors will result in the rising demand
for 3D printing materials.
This factor is projected to work in favor of
the global 3D printing high performance plastic market over the forecasted
period. These materials have the ability to resist extreme temperature
conditions and are highly useful for making intricate and complex components.
This factor is anticipated to surge the demand for 3D printing high performance
plastic in the forthcoming years, which is expected to augur well for the
global 3D printing high performance plastic market.
The demand for this high-performance plastic is majorly
led by medical and healthcare sector. In order to satisfy human healthcare requirements,
the sector continuously seeks to launch innovative technologies and products.
The rising compatibility of high-performance 3D printing plastics such as
polyamide has increased its usage to support the growth of the market in the
production of medical equipment, surgical tools, tissue engineering materials
and prosthetics and implants. These factors are also likely to contribute to
growth of the global 3D printing high performance plastic market. Apart from
this, the environmental concerns associated to disposable of 3D printed
plastics are likely to hamper the market
Furthermore, the demand for reinforced 3D printing high
performance plastics is growing for functional part manufacturing. Thus, it is
creating lucrative growth opportunities for the 3D
printing high performance plastic market growth.
These grades provide optimum performance in extreme conditions such as
corrosive and high temperature/pressure environments. Carbon fibers
and glass fibers are included to PEEK, PEKK, and polyamide to improve
their performance.
