Medical Additive Manufacturing/ 3D Printing Annual Report 2018 Improving Public Health Each year, healthcare needs and costs grow due to an aging population, the rise in chronic diseases, and more. In fact, global healthcare spending is projected to reach nearly $9 trillion by 20201. To address this, practitioners in the healthcare industry continue to look for innovations that can provide quality care to patients at a reasonable cost. But they can’t do it alone. Today, the manufacturing industry is an important partner, with one particularly bright opportunity focused on Medical Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing (AM3DP). From anatomical models to early bioprinting applications, the use of AM3DP is providing benefits for patients and physicians/institutions including: ■ Better patient outcomes ■ Less time in the operating room ■ Reduced costs In 2017, as outlined in this Annual Report, collaboration between hospitals, device manufacturers, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and partners such as SME, led to extraordinary strides in identifying industry trends, opportunities, challenges and solutions. These partnerships drive efficiency through best practice sharing as well as accelerate innovation for applications such as bioprinting and tissue fabrication. They also lay the groundwork for 3D printing of organs and scaling up production of tissues which are still decades away. With millions of patients already directly impacted by the technology, this momentum continues into 2018 and beyond where AM3DP will continue to positively impact public health and drive strong business results.

The truth is, it’s not so new. Twenty in Medical AM3DP applications like those below. Underway are years ago anatomical models were beginning to be used exciting innovations that are changing patient treatments such as for planning complicated surgeries. In 2000, hearing aid 3D printed microbots made to “swim” through a patient’s body and cases were being 3D-printed and within a few years became deliver drugs to cancer cells and 3D-printed specialized contact industry standard. Medical applications have been a leader lenses developed to help epileptic wearers avoid seizures. in taking 3D printing technology far beyond a product development tool. The combination of using medical imaging data to create patient-matched devices and the ability to manufacture structures difficult to produce with traditional General (non-personalized instruments or prototypes). technologies is compelling to an industry always looking for Examples: Specialized metal instrument for hospital/surgical ways to innovate.⁶ use (e.g., plate bending); prototypes for iterative design process EOS FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO MEDICAL 3D PRINTING INCREASES Photo courtesyPhoto 3D printing applications in medicine are Prototype clamp produced with the EOS increasing due to many factors: StainlessSteel 17-4 PH IndustryLine parameter set.

Smaller hospitals may also work with contract manufacturers for segmentation and to prepare files for 3D printing. Larger research hospitals may have their own in-house 3D printing laboratories (see POC Manufacturing Sidebar). Another important group are the bioengineers doing “Forward-looking hospitals research as industry looks at continuing innovation for applications such as bioprinting and tissue fabrication. are implementing on-demand While 3D printing of organs and scaling up production 3D printing service lines and, in of tissues are decades away, research can be accelerated with additional focus. turn, are reaping benefits of an improved patient experience, better training of physicians and growth TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURERS in innovation which can drive non- traditional revenue streams in Device Contract addition to the inherent cost saving Manufacturers Manufacturers that can be realized.” —Todd Pietila, Global Business Development, 3D Printing for Hospitals, Materialise POINT-OF-CARE MANUFACTURERS Hospitals Hospitals connected - Government to university - Non-profit engineering - For-profit departments Contract Manufacturers 6 Medical Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing Point-of-Care Manufacturing Benefits of POC Point-of-Care (POC) is a non-traditional form of manufacturing While POC may not be for every hospital due to referring to the just-in-time creation of anatomical models, the investment in equipment and staff, for those surgical instruments, prosthetics, scaffolds, and other 3D printed that are considering this business avenue, there applications at the place of patient care, based on their personal are a number of benefits: medical imaging data (MRI, CT, or surface scans).
