    3D printer is making the healthcare sector more refined and efficient.  

    FREMONT, CA: In 1983, Chuck Hall, while working for an ultraviolet lamp manufacturing company, constructed the world's first eye wash cup with a 3D printer and little did he know that this fabrication would revolutionize all industrial sectors. From automobile manufacturers to healthcare operators, 3D technology has set the primary status of every enterprise a level higher. During digitization, as healthcare companies were finding dramatic ways to stay afloat in the competitive technological ecosystem, the infiltration of the 3D printer within a clinical workplace unlocked exclusive functionalities.

    With the cost of healthcare in the US skyrocketing and the supply chain complications, citizens found it difficult to trust the present state of clinical development. However, the transition of 3D technology within the healthcare research and development sector is showing great potential to mend the previously lost glory. 

    Personalized prosthetics

    Even though 3D printing is a relatively new concept in the field of prosthetics,  it has been highly effective and customers are satisfied. Free, editable features to personalize a product can elevate the functionalities of prosthetic users.

    Previously, the divergence of an actual body part with the traditional plastics unit failed to create an organic environment for the users. Furthermore, the physical limitations with the disjointed units lacked a sensitive touch, which is highly critical for elevating satisfactory effect.         

    As aging in children causes the skeletal variations, the doctors and physicians are left with a challenging situation to build an entirely new model from scratch, which is not only time-consuming but also very expensive. However, with the integration of the 3D printer, physicians can now quickly scan the physical state of a patient and create products accordingly, hence, creating a cost-effective and error-free procedure.

    Bio-printing and Tissue engineering

    The application of medical technology has come to a point where the researchers are now able to synthesize organs using a 3D printer. Development of organoids by utilizing the stem cell from a patient's body is making grafting and transplantation seamless as the parallels in functionality with the patient's own organs eliminates the risk of rejection. Kidneys, livers, and many other vital organs can be constructed through 3D printers, therefore making it a technology of the future.
