3D printing is the process of creating a physical object from three dimensional digital objects by depositing successive layers of a material. Previously, subtractive method was used in manufacturing, in which the object is created by drilling or cutting the base material. However, in 3D printing, the object is created by layer-by-layer addition of the material. Therefore, this technology is called a subset of additive manufacturing. The objective of this report is to study the demand for this technology in medical applications and to know its potential growth. The report also focuses on the raw materials utilized in this technology.

The major factors driving this market are technological advancements and rise in trend of patient-specific products. Additionally, the financial support from government as well as private bodies is also aiding the growth of this market. However, material development and need of highly trained labor is limiting the growth of this market. The increasing adoption of this technology in various medical applications and the market in emerging nations would provide growth opportunities to this market.
