3D printing has rapidly increased popularity over the past decade and has unlocked the abilities for customization in a variety of applications used in the medical field. With the use of bio-compatible and drug-contact materials, medical devices can be made that are perfectly suited for a particular individual. 3D printing technologies is a type of additive manufacturing and it can be changed interchangeably. In 3D printing technology, a three-dimensional object is created by constructing successive layers of raw material. In this technology, each previous layer is being attached with a new layer till the object is complete. Due to its flexibility, 3D printing allows making changes easily without the need to set up additional tools or equipment. 3D printing technology also permits manufacturers to create devices matched to a patient’s anatomy or devices with very complex internal structures. 3D printings have huge potential in medical devices and other products, including food, household items, and automotive parts due to its capabilities.

The 3D printing medical devices market is majorly driven by technological advancements in this field with growing funding for 3D printing medical devices market. Additionally, customized medical products are easy for development with the help of 3D printing. Growing applications of 3D printing in the healthcare industry are resulting in increased demand for the 3D printing medical devices market. Furthermore, 3D printing medical devices account for significant cost savings which contribute to the growth of the market. However, from last decade, the demand for organ transplant has grown along with reconfiguration of supply chain models of medical device manufacturers by population thus driving the growth of the market. On the other hand, the rigid regulatory approval process for 3D-printed medical devices may limit the market. In addition to the rigid regulatory approval process, high costs related with printers, biocompatibility problems associated with the 3D printed medical devices, copyright & patent infringement concerns, and less technical expertise are restraining the growth of the market. Direct digital manufacturing and expiry of key patents in the 3D printing industry are expected to present rewarding opportunities in the market in near future.
