Customization and Cost Benefits over Traditional Manufacturing Attract Investments in 3D Printing Technology from Healthcare Facilities Globally

SANTA CLARA, Calif.andnbsp;As implant manufacturers' few-sizes-fit-all approach to device production could often result in post-operative complications such as pain, implant failure and infections, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding 3D printing, especially in orthopedics, dentistry, and prosthetics. A device or a product manufactured using 3D printing can be tailor printed to the exact shape of an individual's anatomy, and is today predominantly being used to make pre-surgery models or guides for training and intra-operative planning. These guides reduces the surgery time, lowers the risks of complications and infections which results in achieving higher success rate in surgeries and reduce the overall cost of surgery.
