According to FutureWise analysis the market for 3d printed surgical models in 2023 is US$ 597.2 million, and is expected to reach US$ 1.83 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 15%.
A 3D printed surgical model is a three-dimensional physical representation of a patient's anatomy created using additive manufacturing technology, commonly known as 3D printing. These models are used as a reference for surgeons and physicians for three-dimensional studies and inspection of cells, tissues, and various parts of the body. These printed surgical models are also to prepare patients for surgery. Surgeons and medical professionals use printed surgical models for preoperative planning, education, and training. By having a physical model that closely resembles a patient's unique anatomy, surgeons can better understand the intricacies of a procedure, identify potential challenges, and develop effective surgical strategies. This can enhance surgical outcomes, reduce operating time, and improve patient safety.
Rapid prototyping (RP) is an additive manufacturing technique that builds a model from the ground up, depositing material layer by layer. It was first used in the late 1980s and was developed to apply the precision and functionality of computer-assisted design (CAD) to manufacturing. This technology could quickly produce a prototype that accurately represented the engineer's draft. Furthermore, the engineer could digitally alter the draft and print the redesigned part if changes needed to be made. The aircraft and automobile industries quickly adopted this concept to produce prototype parts rapidly. Hence the name RP. The first commercial three-dimensional (3D) printing machine was introduced in 1987, dramatically increasing access to RP.
