Abstract

AM is already a widely adopted manufacturing process used to produce millions of medical devices and healthcare products every year. Common uses for AM include the printing of patient-specific surgical implants and instruments derived from imaging data and the manufacturing of metal implants and instruments with features that are impossible to fabricate using traditional subtractive manufacturing. In addition to reducing costs, patient-specific solutions—such as customized surgical plans and personalized implants—aim to improve surgical outcomes for patients and give surgeons more options and more flexibility in the OR. With advancement in technology, implants are 3D printed in various materials and at various manufacturing sites including at the point-of-care. 3D Systems collaborates with medical device manufacturers and health systems to develop personalized health solutions and is the leader in design, manufacturing and getting regulatory approvals for 3D printed patient-specific implants in various materials and technologies
