Abstract

Additive Manufacturing has not realized it’s full potential due to a number of factors. The regulatory environment for medical devices is geared towards conventional manufacturing techniques, making it challenging to certify 3D-printed devices. Additive manufacturing may still not be competitive when scaled up for industrial production, and the need for post-processing may negate some of the benefits. The promises and the challenges of additive manufacturing will be explored in the context of medical imaging device design.
