3D Printing CAD Software Market Size:

The 3D printing CAD software market is expected to grow from USD 14.696 billion in 2025 to USD 29.682 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 15.10%.

Cloud 3D CAD software is accessible via the internet for usage through the servers of cloud computing companies. The cloud-based architecture makes it simple to retrieve stored schematics, schematics symbols, 2D drawings, 2D footprints, and 3D models from a single repository. For applications such as automotive, architecture, healthcare, industrial, construction, entertainment and media, and others, the enterprise sizes for 3D CAD software include small companies, midrange enterprises, and big enterprises. The introduction of a cloud-based platform for 3D CAD software is accelerating industry growth. The increasing usage of computer-aided design in the automobile sector, together with manufacturers' greater emphasis on additive manufacturing, is likely to drive market expansion. Several businesses are shifting to cloud-based architecture to improve processes and boost design flexibility. PTC, for example, purchased Onshape Inc., a Software as a Service (SaaS) product design platform, in October 2019 as part of its transformation to a cloud-based SaaS platform, drawing new clients with the service. Therefore, due to technological developments and diverse end-user applications, the market for 3D printing CAD software is anticipated to rise during the projected period.

3D Printing CAD Software Market Driver:

  • The rising technological developments and implementation of virtual reality made by companies will boost the market growth

Technological developments in 3D CAD software relate to the capacity to increase the level of work by adjusting the manufacturing process with the use of technology to make the manufacturing process more efficient, better, and faster. The 3D CAD software industry is being shaped by rapid technical breakthroughs. For example, Autodesk, an American global software business, launched AutoCAD 2023 in March 2022, which would enable designers to get greater insights, collaborate more effectively, and automate numerous processes when developing 3D models and designs. The product can now automatically input feedback into designs, lowering the likelihood of mistakes and saving time. Furthermore, Virtual Reality (VR) has developed as a valuable auxiliary tool for 3D CAD because it allows users to visualize how their creations will function in the real world. The VR technology provides a virtual reproduction of the model, allowing users to uncover design flaws through an immersive visual experience. The technology has proven useful in terms of cost savings and mistake reduction, and it is projected to assist a variety of industrial undertakings, particularly in the aerospace and automotive sectors. Major firms are investing in the R&D of solution offerings to lessen rivalry from other businesses and to offer technologically improved items in the market. Hence, both these factors will positively influence the market in the coming years.

3D Printing CAD Software Market Geographical Outlook:

  • North America is anticipated to hold a significant amount of the market share

North America will witness a surge in this market during the projected period. This may be ascribed to the US government's support for deploying digitization solutions that will improve the growth of the region's manufacturing industry, hence boosting the use of 3D CAD software solutions. The presence of important companies in the area, such as Autodesk Inc., Dassault Systèmes, and Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp., is further supporting market expansion. Furthermore, CADENAS PARTsolutions, a leading provider of 3D product catalogs and digital parts managed services for producers, announced a new partnership with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to offer authorized 3D CAD models of SAE Aerospace Standards (AS) components, providing engineers in the aerospace and defense industries with a valuable new tool to accelerate innovation, shorten design cycles, and reduce costs. Therefore, due to the presence of major market players along with rising technological developments in the region, the market will drive growth.
