How Plastics Can Boost 3D Printing of Medical Devices
Last update on May 19, 2017
In the recent years, 3D printing technology has gained phenomenal traction in the medical and healthcare industry. The medical industry is seeing mushrooming applications of 3D printing, such as:- Tissue and organ fabrication
- The creation of customized prosthetics, implants, and anatomical models
- Personalized medicines
- Medical devices, and
- Tools
Traditionally, research and development in the medical devices market has always been highly dependent upon the ever evolving stringent regulations. These regulations are implemented by countries to safeguard end-user/patients health. Manufacturers have been incurring significant development costs to test and produce medical devices compliant with such ever changing regulations.
With 3D printing technology, one is able to rapidly provide customized medical products as per the patient's anatomy despite strict regulations. This was difficult to be implemented earlier.
Factors fueling the significant growth in 3D printed medical devices market can be segregated into two broad categories. These are:
- Economic - Cost effectiveness, customizable manufacturing and accelerating development of clinical trial-ready devices
- Lifestyle - Rise in vascular, osteoarthritis diseases and geriatric population in the developed world
