In 1986 New technology born

Commercial rapid prototyping was started by a prestigious professor Chuck Hull when
he founded 3D Systems in Valencia, California.

1992 commercialization
A special application of plastic extrusion, commercialized by a company named
Stratasys , which marketed its first FDM machine.

1994 Make a great progress for medical device

The first thermoplastic body organ available for 3D printing was introduced

Thrghout the 90s , many 3D printing companies were created of the only a few of these
original companies remain today by far.
Since early 90s , the process of 3D printing begun to focused on how it could be used in
specific fields such as industry for mass production and even into the medical field for
customization devices.
The ability to create complex precise parts was incredibly beneficial to manufacturing.
This aims on how to utilize developing High-tech led to first ever printed 3D organ.
A bladder was printed in the cell were injected into it providing a place for the tissue
to grow before it could be implemented into a human-being .

The most common technology used for 3D printing medical devices is called powder
bed fusion. Powder bed fusion is commonly used because it works with a variety of
materials used in medical devices, such as titanium and nylon.

The powder bed fusion process builds a three-dimensional product from very fine
metal or plastic powder, which is poured onto a platform and leveled carefully. A laser
or electron beam then moves across the powder layer and melts the material it
touches. Melted material fuses to the layer below it and to the powder around it to
create a solid. Once a layer is completed, the platform moves down and one more layer
of carefully leveled powder is placed on top.

Compound annual growth rate is so-called CAGR , which is predictably that business is
significantly growing - from 2016 to 2022 at almost 18 %.
The medical device industry (15%) is the third largest 3D printing market and uses 3D
printing for mass customized finished goods.

Example : APPLICATIONS OF 3-D PRINTING IN DENTISTRY

-Dental restorations, especially dental prostheses, including crowns, veneers, inlays and
on lays, fi xed bridges,
-Dental implant restorations,
-Dentures (removable or fi xed),
-Orthodontic appliances.
-Print craniofacial structures for reference before complex surgeries.

As a result of these better advancements and an increased ability for medical

professionals to plan customized treatments ahead of surgery.
