Global Directed Metal Deposition (DMD) 3D Printers Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Directed Metal Deposition (DMD) 3D Printers market size is predicted to grow from US$ million in 2025 to US$ million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of %from 2025 to 2031.

Direct metal deposition (DMD) is a metal 3D printing technology that prints parts by melting and fusing material as it is deposited. It is also called 3D laser cladding and directed light fabrication. Instead of manufacturing new parts, DMD is usually used for repairing and rebuilding damaged components. DMD is a group of 3D printing processes that adds material alongside the heat input simultaneously. The heat source can either be a laser, electron beam, or plasma arc. The material used is either metal powder or wire. Powders result in lower deposition efficiency than metal wires as only a part of the total powders are melted and bonded to the substrate.

The industrial printer segment leads the market, accounting for more than 76.0% of the global revenue share in 2022. Based on printer type, the industry is further segmented into industrial printers and desktop 3D printers. The huge share of industrial 3D printers can be attributed to the widespread adoption of industrial printers in heavy industries such as automotive, electronics, aerospace and defense, and healthcare. Prototyping, design and tooling are the most common industrial applications in these verticals. 3D printing benefits manufacturers in terms of prototyping, structural and final product design, modeling and time to market. As a result, production costs are greatly reduced and manufacturers are able to offer better products at reasonable prices. Owing to these advantages, the demand for 3D printers is expected to further increase in the coming years. Widespread adoption of 3D printing in prototyping, design, and mold making is driving growing demand in the industrial sector. Hence, the industrial printer segment is expected to continue to dominate during the forecast period. The adoption of desktop 3D printers was initially limited to hobbyists and small businesses. Today, however, they are increasingly used for home and household purposes. The education sector including schools, educational institutions, and universities are also deploying desktop printers for technical training and research purposes. Small businesses in particular are adopting desktop printers and diversifying their operations to provide 3D printing and other related services. For example, the concept of "fabshops" is gaining popularity in the United States. These fabshops provide on-demand 3D printing of parts based on designs and requirements provided by customers. Hence, the demand for desktop printers is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period.
