Printing a Path to Better Healthcare

Additive manufacturing established early roots in the healthcare industry more than 20 years ago by creating implantable devices, hearing aids and affordable orthodontics.  Recent advances that create even stronger materials have provided new opportunities.
Freed from the boundaries of traditional materials, additive manufacturing allows engineers to design more organically, optimizing weight-to-strength ratios with design flexibility.  The process also has the benefits of using less material and producing less waste.
