Healthcare Upcoming Trends and Topics 3D Printing Medical Devices Market, By Region | Page 4

• Based on technology, the global market is segmented into five broad categories, namely, electron beam melting, laser beam melting, photopolymerization, droplet deposition (DD) or extrusion-based technologies, and three-dimensional printing (3DP) or adhesion bonding or binder jetting. The photopolymerization technology segment is estimated to command the largest share of the global market in 2017. This is attributed to the widespread application of this technology across the medical industry, for manufacturing surgical guides (orthopedic, dental, and CMF guides), prosthetics and implants, porous scaffolds, and dental restorations. • The 3D-printed medical products market is further segmented on the basis of type into four major categories, namely, surgical guides, surgical instruments, prosthetics & implants, and tissue engineering products. The surgical guides segment is expected to account for the largest share of the 3D printing medical device market in 2017. The increasing use of the digitally driven process for accurate surgical planning is the key factor contributing to its market growth. https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/3d-printing-medical-devices-market-90799911.html
