Abstract

3D printing and additive manufacturing are interchangeable terms. Additive manufacturing builds models layer by layer using a variety of laser-based or sophisticated printing processes. While this was one of the earliest techniques for 3D printing, the field now widely uses a number of other patented methods. The objective is to analyze the success rate of 3D printing in healthcare. The medical industry has found 3D printing to be highly beneficial in recent years. The application of 3D printing technology allows for greater customization of the therapeutic process, which enhances treatment safety, accuracy, and precision. On the other hand, the disclosure of new materials for 3D printing occurs frequently. For some producers, the right materials might just be a few months or years away. However, printing certain materials may be difficult or impossible. Excellent results are not always possible with 3D printers. Nonetheless, we can conclude that 3D printing represents one of the most advanced techniques in healthcare.
