Key Factors Shaping 3D Printed Medical Devices Market
3D Printed Medical Devices Revolutionizing Surgical Practice
Medical uses of 3D printing technology are revolutionizing healthcare industry by providing benefits such as customizations, personalization of medical products, and increased productivity. Some studies suggest that custom surgical guides and medical models with 3D-printing technology will become standards for diverse surgical procedures such as joint replacement, cranial implants, spinal surgeries, and cardiac surgeries in next few decades.
As of now, application of 3D-printing in operating room is restricted to only few procedures, but surgeons can plan their procedure in advance resulting in minimal manual error and faster completion of surgery. Surgeons, prior to a complex surgery, study CT scan data of a patient’s blood vessels, bone or other organs by converting it to a digital file with the help of 3D-printing, which can be studied and manipulated. Through printed custom tools and guides, 3D Printed Medical Devices are the perfect fit for surgeries involving cutting and drilling such as joint replacement surgeries.
Favorable Government Initiatives
In order to accelerate innovation in 3D printing technology, government and non-profit organizations are collaborating resources and developing new standards. For instance, in March 2016, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute and ANSI (American National Standard Institute) launched AMSC (Additive Manufacturing Standardization Collaborative) a cross-sector coordinating body whose aim is to cater to consistent stakeholders’ demand and facilitate growth.
Similarly, in China, government is providing funding for establishment of manufacturing facility for production of biomaterials and study of 3D printed organs and tissues. In 2013, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China announced investment of US$ 6.5 million in 3D printing research and development. Such initiatives are expected to enhance existing standards and identify gaps in the industry, which in turn is expected to boost the coordinated growth of stakeholders in the 3D printed medical devices market.
Launch of Innovative 3D Printers
Several 3D printed medical devices companies are now focusing to launch innovative high speed 3D printers. In last few years, 3D printing technology has been extensively preferred by doctors and patients to accurately plan and perform reconstructive surgery. Therefore, manufacturers of 3D printed medical devices are now increasing their reliance to launch 3D printers and devices as part of their broader manufacturing strategy.
For instance, in February 2018, 3D Systems Inc. launched a next-generation 3D printer called Next Dent 5100, powered by Figure 4 technology specifically designed for dental labs. This revolutionary device offers best in class performance and speed at an affordable price point.

Visibly Rising Inclination Towards Biomaterial Inks
Increasing adoption rate of 3D printed medical devices in various medical applications such as 3D printed orthopedic devices asl well 3D printed dental devices has been triggering innovations in the same, particularly in biomaterials that are used in their manufacturing. Offering superior efficiency, metals and alloys accounted for over 65% revenue share in market. Manufacturers’ preference for biocompatible metals and alloys is primarily attributed to the fact than metal enables immediate mobilization of patients with ultimate support and prevents complications. Bioprinting is emerging as a popular technique of manufacturing 3D printed medical devices, which is pushing preference for biomaterial inks among manufacturers.
North America Remains Goldmine of Opportunities
The growth of healthcare industry has been exploding in developed regions that are adopting a value-based business model. Of late, healthcare organizations have been undertaking a research-based approach towards improving their surgical outcomes. This is triggering the adoption of 3D printed medical devices among end users in developed regions such as North America and Europe. In 2018, both these regions accounted for over 3/4th revenue share in global market and the trend will continue through 2029.
In Sync with Personalized Medication Trend
While manufacturers are introducing improved designs of 3D printed medical devices, they now intent to sync with the latest industry trend, i.e. personalization. Customized or patient-specific 3D printed implants have been here for a while and they continue to allow the 3D printed medical devices manufacturers to boost surgical outcome. Leading market players are intensifying their focus on devices catering to patient-specific requirements in a particular application. This would help them ride the coattails of trends in the personalized medicine landscape.
Metals and alloys widely used
