According to a new research report from Albany, NY based Transparency Market Research, the global market for 3-D printing in medical application was valued $354.5 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4 percent from 2013 to 2019 to reach $965.5 million by 2019.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has allowed the successful printing of prosthetics, dental work and hearing aids, which can all be made from plastic or pliable materials and often need to be tailored to a specific patient. New technology will soon be able to print blood vessels, skin, even embryonic stem cells and more.

Our Additive Manufacturing: Medical and Healthcare will bring together top university researchers and AM services providers to discuss the latest insights on the future of AM technology specifically within the medical and healthcare field. Gain access to over 15 presentations and network with OEMs and hospitals looking for AM services in the medical community.
