Synopsis

While 3D printing is a 30-year-old technology, its applications are believed to be still at infancy stage. Expiring patents, lower cost printers and materials, improved healthcare specific software allow for more players to get involve and identify new opportunities in healthcare vertical. Although still a small percentage of total manufacture market share, the tremendous potential of healthcare 3D printing is undeniable. There has been a significant recent increase in the medical community in using 3D printing technology for pre-surgical planning and a variety of other surgical related applications. This book is to achieve three main goals: - To initiate a conversation focusing on how to practically implement 3D printing (additive manufacture) into a healthcare workflow and financial system. - To provide a framework for future discussions on the subject.- To inspire more inputs from this new community to add to our knowledge base and future editions.
