Hearing Devices 3D Printing Market
Now Available Global Hearing Devices 3D Printing Market Forecast And Growth 2016-2026
3D printing is another name for the manufacturing technique known as additive manufacturing . It is the creation of a physical product from a digital 3D blueprint of it . It uses a process called layering to add several layers or fractions of an image together until the physical manifestation of it is formed . 3D printing might seem revolutionary and futuristic , but it was first used thirty years ago ! It is useful in fields as diverse as automobile , aerospace & defence , retail and even in the medical industry . The hearing devices 3D printing market is a major component of the latter . An ageing population in the developed world and in China is spurring demand for hearing aids . Hearing aids mass produced are all often of the same size , which may make them too small for some people or even too large . The hearing devices 3D printing market can largely solve this problem , as the equipment can be customised to an individual ’ s need & requirements .
Hearing Devices 3D Printing Market Drivers
A key driver of the hearing devices 3D printing market is automation which is gradually being adopted by every industry . 3D printing enables medical equipment manufacturers to convert what was once a manual , labour driven job into a fully machine-driven one . Another factor is the preference for using customised hearing aids which can be designed according to the size & shape of an individual patient ’ s ear , as opposed to batch-manufactured units . 3D printing will ensure that the hearing aids will have fewer defects and an increased amount of precision . The manufacturing time will be significantly reduced and customers may even be able to print the devices themselves . Initially , this was a highly long process
