Medical apps push 3D printing market

The use of 3D printers in medical applications is leading to wide deployment in healthcare settings.

That’s the conclusion of market research company Gartner, which said in a report that 3D printing is already being used widely to make things like hearing aids and dental devices.

Peter Basiliere, a research director at Gartner, said all major hearing aid suppliers are personalised to the shape of a patient’s ear. “This is evidence that using 3D printing for mass customisation of consumer goods is now viable. Routine use of 3D printing for dental implats is also not far from this level of market maturity.”
