How We Can Improve Medical Devices Through 3D Printing?

With ground-breaking improvements in 3D printing technology, it has become feasible to manufacture implants and instruments faster and at less cost. No wonder the medical device industry is adapting it openly, and bringing in innovative products to the market. These 3D printed devices are functional, inexpensive, and patient-specific. In fact, they are proving to be the best option for traditionally manufactured devices.

While 3D printed and traditional materials have lots of similarity, medical devices can be improved by developing more options in printing materials. As of now, the improvements in prosthesis and implants are due to the feasibility of integrating 3D printed molds into the current procedures. With the use of 3D printed sensors, medical professionals are able to improve the comfort levels and overall patient care for the prosthesis wearer. Manufacturing medical devices specific to patient needs with 3D printing services Australia has eliminated the need of large-volume production.

Better Regulatory Controls

Educating hospitals and healthcare facilities about regulatory controls related to medical device manufacturing is essential. Until now, seldom they have bothered about the researching on materials, technical documentation of products, validating production, and regulatory submissions. Once they are aware of the potential of 3D printing, they can contribute for improvement of medical devices with 3D printing Sydney.

Use of Photopolymers

Photopolymer is a type of plastic that has the potential to change properties when exposed to light. It is widely used materials for 3D printing Melbourne. The use of plastics in 3D printing medical devices have seen a significant increase in the recent years. Photopolymers are best to achieve anesthetics and for producing fine parts. However, they cannot be used in all types of 3D printers, and are in limited colors. Nevertheless, they are best to achieve a smoother finish. Only if their cost is reduced, they can help a lot in improving medical devices.

3D Printed Bone Drill

There are high chances of tissue damage when cutting bone during the surgery. Since the conventional tool would heat up after reaching a particular temperature, the drilling process had to be stopped for cooling the tool. This would also increase the surgery time. But now with 3D printed bone drill, better design, incorporating cooling ducts, and use of biocompatible material, surgery time has reduced.

If you are a medical professional or into healthcare business, you can improve medical devices by contacting Zeal 3D Printing Services. They are the best 3D printing company in Melbourne, Australia equipped with advanced 3D printing technology for medical devices.
