3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing

3D printing technology holds great potential in the field of drug delivery. Pharmaceuticals can be printed in custom-made doses for every single patient, with layering intended to provide immediate or sustained release of the medication to deliver a definite healing effect. 3D printing is used for the development of new surgical cutting and drill guides, prosthetics as well as the creation of patient-specific replicas of bones, organs, and blood vessels.
