“The potential applications of 3D printing in medicine are vast, from surgical planning and dental restoration to remote patient monitoring and telemedicine,” according to Technavio, quoted by Manufacturing Asia revealed. Meanwhile, a trend towards the field of bioprinting serves as another growth factor.

Additionally, findings from MarketsandMarkets Research revealed the global 3D printing bioprinting market vlued at US$1.3 billion in 2024, is expected to reach US$2.4 billion in 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. This growth is driven by advancements in 3D bioprinting technology, increased public-private partnerships, and its integration into pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Key market drivers include adopting 3D bioprinting for precise tissue and organ fabrication, facilitating drug testing and personalised medicine. Opportunities lie in the rising demand for organ transplants, while biocompatibility issues and stringent sterilisation protocols present challenges.

Unlike traditional 3D printers that use plastics or metals, bioprinters utilise a computer-guided pipette to deposit living cells, known as “bioink,” to produce artificial living tissues. This capability has notable implications for organ replacement, potentially addressing donor shortages and reducing rejection risks by creating organs fit for specific needs.

Moreover, the market is also witnessing advances in other areas, including prosthetics, implants, and surgical equipment. Solutions such as stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing are widely used in the production of customised medical devices, including orthopaedic implants and wearable medical devices. 

Furthermore, the fields of dentistry and orthodontics benefit from 3D printing, which can be utilised for dentures, bone scaffolds, and hearing aids.

“Complex medical procedures, such as implantable and non-implantable medical devices, drug testing, and organ and tissue production, are also being revolutionised by this technology,” the report added.

As one of Germany’s most innovative companies, Brose is in an excellent position to integrate additive manufacturing (AM) into their products and manufacturing workflow. They use various AM technologies for prototyping, tools, and fixtures, and their next objective is to go into serial production. The latest addition to their printing fleet, the Fuse 1, the first benchtop industrial selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer from Formlabs, is one of the tools that will support them on this path.
