3D Printing Benefits in Healthcare

• Rapid prototyping• Mass customization• Complex geometries that – Cannot be manufacturing by any other method.– Have improved material property (e.g. strength,

elasticity, transparency).– Can be manufactured more cost effectively with

3D printing.

3DP Limitations in Healthcare• Time consuming– Limited to complex, rare, deadly disease– Talent allocation/operational challenges

• Limited material selection– Biocompatible material– Sterilization– Durability– Toxicity

• Size limitation• Limited Creative User Case of the Technology

Prosthetics/Exoskeleton• Increased accessibility – Open source– Cost reduction– Global Non profit organizations

• Improved fitting process• Added design features– E.g. biotic hands “exiii”– https://youtu.be/vZvCXYsJzFk

• Aesthetics– E.g. UNYQ

Medical Education

Bioprinting/Tissue Engineering

• https://youtu.be/s3CiJ26YS_U• Medical/Pharmaceutical Research• Tissue replacement• Organ transplant

Bioprinting/Tissue Engineering

Pharmaceutical

Future States• Reimbursement

– FDA Approval– Clinical evidence, payer acknowledgement

• 3D Printer – Faster, cheaper, multi material, nanoscale

• 3DP Material development– Biocompatible, material characteristics

• Software– Open source vs. commercial

• Patent/Legal issues– Major IP challenges, digital vs. non-digital

• Quality Control/Standarization/Regulatory issues– Improved organization– Dedicated regulatory entity/Funding

Conclusion

• Extremely new but revolutionary field with many pieces still missing

• Positioned to exponential growth due to expiring patents and FDA approvals

• Initial investments, R&D, innovative communities
