Abstract

In recent years, additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has become an increasingly critical tool in the medical field due to its ability to produce unique, patient-specific devices. This technology enhances treatment efficacy by allowing for the customization of medical solutions tailored to individual patient needs. Additionally, 3D printing significantly reduces the time and cost associated with the production of medical devices and components. Specifically, it plays a key role in the development of implants, prosthetics, and personalized medical instruments, thereby positively impacting the personalization of healthcare. With the advancement of novel biocompatible materials, 3D printing enables the fabrication of products possessing the necessary mechanical properties for a diverse range of medical applications.
