The technology, history and operation of 3D printers has been described elsewhere. 3, 4 This paper focusses on the medical applications of 3D printing, presents recent research, and its implications for medical applications. We have defined categories of medical applications to classify existing research into 3D printing in medicine. 3D Bioprinting: Revolutionizing Healthcare. Penn State researchers are advancing the capabilities of 3D printing with biomaterials—someday printing new organs and tissues—and revolutionizing healthcare. In the U.S. today, more than 100,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant and 130 million Americans will visit the emergency room 3D printing has shown promising results in supporting surgery, but more research is needed to understand the technology’s full potential for the healthcare market, as Giacomo Lee finds out. 3D printing will be a $32bn industry by 2025, rising to over $60bn by 2030, according to estimates from GlobalData. The CAGR between 2018 and 2025 will be Healthcare 3D printing (3DP) is in nascent stage and some service providers are facilitating its adoption across hospitals in the world. There is limited research on healthcare 3DP services, the business models of such service providers, the value they provide to the surgeons and the hospitals and the co-creation process needed to deliver such service innovation. Now that they have shown the effectiveness of this technique for 3D printing, the researchers want to develop controllers for other manufacturing processes. They’d also like to see how the approach can be modified for scenarios where there are multiple layers of material, or multiple materials being printed at once. The growing use of 3D printers in domestic environments has reportedly led to public health concerns, with users experiencing headaches, irritation and respiratory symptoms. To fully assess these Overall, the impact of adopting 3D printing online stems mainly from technology substitution, that is, the traditional production technology is replaced by a better 3D printing technology. Such technology substitution leads to the variety effect , enabled by 3D printing’s natural elimination of the production setup cost, and allows the firm Nowadays, it is possible to find 3D printers everywhere, at homes, schools, work offices, etcetera. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that is increasingly gaining popularity, and it can create functional parts with a wide variety of shapes and sizes. But on the other hand, there are health risks associated with 3D printers, like nanoparticles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs DYP4.
