Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market Analysis
The additive manufacturing (AM) method, also known as 3D printing, has the potential to produce innovative medical devices and instrumentation, including orthoses, prostheses, medical models, inert implants, and biomanufacturing. AM allows companies to provide extensive customization based on individual patient requirements for medical applications by saving time and reducing the wastage of raw materials. The technique helps overcome the constraints of conventional manufacturing methods—mainly associated with mass customization, fabrication, milling, casting, forging, and so on. Additionally, recent advancements in biomaterials catalyze the clinical implications of healthcare products using AM technology.
Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market Overview
As highlighted by the AM3D Printing annual medical report by A. S. of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), material extrusion was found to be the most popular category with 55% usage in 2022, followed by vat photopolymerization with 57% and powder bed fusion with 51% acceptance rate. The rest of the processes had a shorter contribution in the medical sector. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) encourages the utilization of advanced technologies, including medical device additive manufacturing, to yield better outputs. For instance, in June 2023, the FDA established an additive manufacturing lab to enhance its readiness to handle medical device issues during premarket and post market stages. Therefore, the increasing investments in life science research and medical device technology by the government and private sectors favor medical device additives manufacturing market growth.

Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market Drivers and Opportunities
Mounting Demand for Additive Manufacturing in Orthopedics and Dental Sectors to Favor Market
Permanent orthopedic implants such as joint replacements for the knee, hip, or wrist or some of the temporary fixation devices such as plates, pins, screws, and wires can be inserted into the body to let fractured bones heal within a short period. These devices are designed using AM technologies and offer advantages such as choice of customization, option for appropriate and wide range of materials, and the ability to design complex shapes and structures. Propelling incidences of orthopedic interventions and endodontic operations are significant drivers of medical device additive manufacturing market share.
Demand for Personalized Medicine
The healthcare industry is increasingly focused on achieving better patient outcomes through personalized medical devices that match each patient's anatomy or physiology. Examples include orthopedic implants and prosthetic leg sockets. Personalized medical devices offer several advantages, including reducing the cost of care, improving functionality and aesthetics, and increasing load distribution. Advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing and medical imaging can support the design and manufacturing. As per an article published by the MDPI Journals in April 2022, tailoring drug doses, dosage forms, and drug release adjustments to individual patients can optimize their therapy. Extrusion-based 3D printing techniques, such as fused filament fabrication (FFF) and semi-solid extrusion (SSE), are versatile, precise, feasible, and cost-effective. Hence, AM technology is seen to have a positive impact on the market, as it has an opportunity to customize medical devices to cater to the specific needs of the patients.
