3D printing has truly revolutionized different industries for the better, now products can hit the market on time despite the volume ensuring that there is never a shortage. A huge number of industries and sectors have benefited, the medical sector being the biggest beneficiary.

3D printing has saved countless human lives and for this reason, we are going to briefly some of the benefits of 3D printing to the medical industry.

1. Complex Operations

3D printing plays a vital role especially when it comes to training future doctors, it's also important when it comes to the preparations of the actual operations. 2D images are also very useful, but the only limitation is the fact that they don't represent the actual human organ or part.

3D printing on the other hand is much more advanced and provides realistic models that closely resemble human parts and organs. These two factors are very important as they make operations effective and accurate.

2. Advanced Technology

3D printing is one of the most advanced technologies currently in the market, some would even say that the tech is ahead of its time. In the medical field, the future doctor can learn and practice on printed 3D organs.

Training human doctors using human-like organs and parts will not only improve the knowledge and skills of doctors but also improve the quality of life overall ensuring we have a happier and healthier population.

3. The Delicate and Intricate Care

One of the best things about 3D printers is their low cost, this has made it possible when it comes to making low-cost prosthetics wherever people may need them especially in war-torn countries where a significant number of the population have difficulties.

They also provide quick and affordable solutions for people who cannot afford aesthetics. Cheaper medical equipment can also solve the medical crisis in less developed countries, in Africa especially we have bad roads and infrastructure which makes the delivery of these key equipment's a difficult task.

But, with 3D printing this will no longer be the case, it has now become easier to print medical equipment's in those villages bringing the service closer to the people who need them the most.

4. Reduction of Expense as Well as Waiting Time

3D printing allows for the creation of lab and medical equipment, which means that now it's also possible to print plastic parts of these equipments. This significantly reduces the time spent on production as well as time waiting for the delivery of these products.

It significantly makes the manufacturing process faster, seamless, and affordable. This is in turn passed onto the consumer in terms of reduction of medical services as well as medicine.

5. Customization

The manufacture of prosthetics in a conventional way is expensive as they have to be personalized to meet the needs and requirements of users. 3D printers on the other side provide manufacturers with the freedom to choose various designs and specifications. They also allow for the availability of prosthetics at affordable and cheaper prices which is a win for both the producers and consumer.
