Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the 3D printing healthcare market in 2023 was US$ 1.81 billion, and is expected to be over US$ 7.93 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 20.30%. Advancements in bioprinting, custom prosthetics, and patient-specific surgical models are enhancing the use of 3D printing in healthcare. The demand for personalized treatments and quicker, cost-effective production of medical devices is fueling market growth. Innovations in 3D-printed implants, dental devices, and wearable technologies are set to significantly impact the future of healthcare.

3D printing is a process that involves additive manufacturing technique that creates three-dimensional objects by building successive layers of raw materials such as plastics, metals, and ceramics.  The process typically starts with medical imaging techniques, such as MRI scans or CT scans, to capture detailed anatomical data of a patient. This data is then processed using specialized software to generate a three-dimensional digital model. The digital model is further refined, optimized, and prepared for 3D printing. Once the design is finalized, the printer builds the object layer by layer, using the specified materials. Post-processing steps may be involved to clean, polish, or sterilize the printed objects, depending on their application.

There is a growing R&D crisis occurring in the pharmaceutical industry, as drugs are failing at later and later stages. Bioprinted tissues and organs are already being used to help increase the success rate of clinical trials. With bioprinting, researchers can print fully functional organs made of human cells to test a drug’s efficacy before using in vivo animal or human tests. This reduces the damage caused to animals and expedites the entire R&D process. 3D printing of models affords further insights into pathological changes and visualization of patient-specific organ anatomy. The education and surgical planning fields are two of the heaviest investors in 3D printing for the healthcare industry. Leveraging additive manufacturing as a pre-operative planning tool has shown extremely promising results.

Recent developments by key players in the 3D Printing Healthcare Market:

3D Systems Corporation

Dental Innovations has secured a nearly $250 million contract over five years for the production of clear dental aligners, which is the company's largest contract to date. The company plans to commercially launch its direct printing technology for these aligners in late 2025 and expects FDA clearance for its single-piece denture technology later this year.

Exone Company

ExOne has partnered with Open Health Solutions, an affiliate of Core3DCentres, to create a fully sterilizable and reusable 3D-printed face mask. Using the Bellus3D FaceApp, users can scan their faces to design custom-fit masks. These masks feature 3D-printed metal filters made from copper or stainless steel, which can be sterilized and reused. This innovation addresses both safety and environmental concerns. The design has been submitted to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for approval.
