The market for 3-D printing or additive manufacturing is booming because of its exceptional and interesting advantages over traditional manufacturing. Apart from lesser production costs, the printed object in 3-D printer comes in a perfectly smooth finish. Moreover, for short production runs, the lead time of 3-D printing is less, and it allows the creation of very complex shapes without additional costs. But, one setback with 3-D printing is that it relies too much on plastic- one of the harmful materials for the environment. Though the market of materials is rapidly growing and there are several other available materials like metal, ceramics or glass. But most materials are hybrid and use PLA as a base.
