Report Overview
3D printing is transforming the medical implant industry by enabling the fabrication of personalized, complex, and highly functional devices. The technique allows precise customization based on patients’ anatomical data, improving the outcomes. It is widely used for orthopedic implants (e.g., hip, knee, and spinal devices), dental implants, and cranial implants, which are built using titanium alloy and biocompatible polymers, ensuring strength and compatibility with the human body. The technology provides better support, bone integration and reduces the need for additional layering or procedures. Additionally, faster lead times, reduced material waste, cost-effective small batch production, and design flexibility are a few of its other advantages. As advancements continue, including multi-material printing and bio-printing, 3D printing is expected to play a key role in the future of personalized medicine and surgical innovation.

Advancements in 3D printing technology to fuel high demand
Recent advancements in 3D printing technology have revolutionized the field of medical implants, particularly in orthopedics, dental reconstruction, and craniofacial surgery. Modern 3D printers now offer high resolution, faster build speed, and better material compatibility, which allow the fabrication of highly precise and durable implants.
Technologies such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) allow the use of advanced biocompatible materials like titanium alloys and biodegradable polymers. This advancement has enhanced the design and manufacture of customized, patient-specific implants using data from CT scans or MRI scans, thereby resulting in better anatomical fit and improved clinical outcomes
- In February 2025, the Stratasys Direct facility in Tucson, Arizona has received ISO 13485 certification, meeting key regulatory standards for medical device manufacturing. This certification enhances the credibility of its 3D-printed components, supporting scalable production and improved patient outcomes
- In December 2024, Materialise launched its fully integrated Mimics platform, merging desktop and cloud tools to accelerate AI-based image segmentation and personalized implant design, streamlining the development of patient-specific surgical solutions
- In November 2024, Renishaw launched the RenAM 500, which is a dual-laser additive manufacturing system equipped with TEMPUS technology, enabling faster and more cost-effective production of metal implants, particularly beneficial for custom, patient-specific orthopedic applications
Rising demand for customizable implants to drive market growth
Customizable implants are tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy instead of selecting an implant from a set of pre-made or standard-sized implants. The demand is surging due to the rising incidences of complex or irregular orthopedic cases (e.g., facial, trauma, spinal deformities), patient preference for durable and better-fitting, longer-lasting solutions, and integration of advanced imaging with 3D modelling software.
Customized implants have resulted in reduced implant migration or failure, which ensures better alignment with surrounding tissues/bone, shorter recovery time, reduced infection risks, and fewer revision surgeries. This helps surgeons to plan and perform the procedure more efficiently with a ready-to-fit implant, which enables them to treat trauma, tumours, or congenital deformities that don't match standard implants. For instance,
- In April 2025, 3D Systems collaborated with University Hospital Basel to produce the world’s first MDR-compliant 3D‑printed PEEK facial implant at the point-of-care using their EXT 220 MED printer, enabling on-site manufacturing of customised maxillofacial implants
- In March 2025, Materialise and the University of Michigan launched a pivotal FDA-approved clinical trial for a 3D-printed, bioresorbable tracheobronchial splint device, designed using Mimics software and aimed at treating infants with life-threatening conditions
