Description
Summary:Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has found promising applications in the drug delivery and medical sectors. It is a manufacturing process that creates a physical model from computerised data. The advancement of 3D printing has opened up new possibilities for improving healthcare, from speeding up the manufacturing of implants to altering the way surgical operations are planned. Patient-specific 3D-printed anatomical models are gaining popularity as a tool for precision medicine and individualized care. There will be fewer people waiting for transplants and more lives saved if 3D-printed implantable organs become widely accessible in the future. Despite the fact that additive manufacturing in healthcare is still very much a work in progress, it is currently employed in many different ways in an industry that is already struggling under enormous pressure to provide optimum performance at lower prices. In this context, this review aims to visualise the application and development of 3D printing technology in the healthcare industry.
