3D printing is a technique in which a scanned or digitally designed object is formed into a three-dimensional solid using an additive process. In this process, metal is applied in successive layers with very less wastage. 3D printing products are built from materials that are alternatives to conventional plastic and metals. The global metal-based 3D printing market will grow at a rapid rate during the forecast period.The growth is attributable to the emerging demand from the aerospace and healthcare industry.3D printing metals help in achieving complex geometries, extreme requirements,and weight reduction for the aerospace industry. Fuel nozzles and guide vanes are

being produced using the technique.
