According to the research report ""Argentina 3D Printing Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, the Argentina 3D Printing market was valued at more than USD 78 Million in 2022. Based on application, the market is divided into prototyping, tooling, and functional parts manufacturing. The prototyping segment accounted for the largest share in 2022 due to widespread adoption of the prototyping process across multiple industry verticals. For precisely designing and developing parts, components, and complex systems, prototyping is especially useful in the automotive, aerospace, and defence industries. In response to rising demand for designing and manufacturing functional parts, the functional parts manufacturing segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2028. The market is divided into two types of printer’s desktop 3D printers and industrial 3D printers. Industrial 3D printers will lead the market in 2022, with a larger market share. Industrial 3D printers are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and defence, to produce more complex and customized parts and components than traditional manufacturing methods. Furthermore, industrial 3D printers can use a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and plastics, allowing manufacturers to select the best material for their application. 3D printers are expected to grow at a faster CAGR than industrial 3D printers because they are more affordable, accessible, and simple to use. However, based on the offerings, the market is divided into printers, materials, services, and software segments. During the forecast period, printer has the largest market share. Printers have the highest market share in the Argentina 3D printing market based on offering because they are the most important component of any 3D printing system. Without a printer, it is impossible to create 3D objects using additive manufacturing technology. Materials have the highest CAGR because they are an essential component of the 3D printing process.

In Argentina, Some of the recent products launched include Carbon's L1 Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) 3D printer. Launched in 2021, this printer uses advanced software and hardware to produce high-resolution 3D prints in a range of materials, including elastomers and polyurethanes. Furthermore, HP's Jet Fusion 5200 Launched in 2019, this 3D printer uses a unique multi-agent printing process to produce high-quality parts at a lower cost than traditional manufacturing methods. Moreover, Stratasys' F120 3D printer is designed for small to medium-sized businesses and produces high-quality, functional prototypes and parts. Furthermore, Ultimaker's S5 3D printer features advanced connectivity options and a large build volume, making it ideal for producing large-scale prototypes and parts. In addition, Formlabs' Form 3 3D printer uses proprietary Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology to produce high-resolution prints with minimal supports.

Argentina has a strong education system with a focus on design and engineering, which has helped to create a skilled workforce in 3D modeling. Many universities in Argentina offer courses in 3D modeling and related fields, providing students with the necessary skills to work in the industry. Furthermore, Argentina has a thriving creative industry, including animation, film, and video games. 3D modeling plays a critical role in the creation of these products, and there is a growing demand for skilled 3D modelers in these fields. Moreover, 3D modeling is increasingly being used in the medical field in Argentina for a variety of purposes, including creating anatomical models for training purposes, planning and practicing complex surgical procedures, and creating custom prosthetics and implants. In addition, 3D modeling is increasingly being used in advertising and marketing in Argentina, allowing companies to create realistic and detailed models of their products for use in advertisements and promotional materials.

The city of Buenos Aires has a number of 3-D printing labs and makerspaces where people can learn about and experiment with 3-D printing technology. The National Technological University of Argentina has a 3-D printing research and development center, which focuses on developing new 3-D printing technologies and applications. Furthermore, the Argentine Ministry of Production launched a program to promote the use of 3-D printing in industry, with a focus on improving productivity and reducing costs. Moreover, one of the most interesting applications of 3-D printing in Argentina is in the medical field, where it is being used to produce custom prosthetic limbs, surgical tools, and even human tissue. Furthermore, in 2020, a group of Argentine engineers developed a low-cost, open-source 3-D printed ventilator to help address the shortage of medical equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Argentina has a growing 3D printing industry, with several start-ups working on innovative projects and products. Some of the 3D printing start-ups in Argentina include 3D Lab Fab & Design, which offers 3D printing services and also develops its own products, such as custom furniture and lighting fixtures. The company focuses on creating sustainable products using eco-friendly materials. Furthermore, the PrintALot start-up is one of the largest 3D printing service providers in Argentina.
