Medical Industry
The medical industry will benefit the most out of this industry. With the help of 3D printing, we can save the lives of thousands of people by replacing a damaged organ with a 3D printed one. In the field of medical technology, a lot of research is going has been taken place to explore the opportunity of creating 3D printed organs that could be used as a substitute for organ transplants. Once this technology succeeds then doctors could help to create organs and tissues compatible with a specific patient’s anatomy. In the coming years, the medical industry will benefit from 3D printing the most. 3D printing can make tissue with blood vessels, drugs, prosthetic bones, heart valves, synthetic skin, and organs.
Applications
1.Surgical Planning Preparation Models
This actually a reproduction of a heart model taken from a patient. In surgical procedure planning a surgent might produce this heart as a way to practice or model or plan before a surgical procedure rather than deal with whatever comes on his way when they begin into surgery.
2. Educational Models
People often say that “a picture is worth a thousand words” and what we say is “A 3D printed object worth a thousand pictures.
When it comes to the learning process our brain processes physical feeling of objects differently than watching a video, listening to a lecture class, or audiotape. With 3D printing, the students are equipped with one of the great learning tools in learning real-world skills and technologies they needed to achieve greatness in life.
3. Orthotics
Orthotics are prescription medical devices that you wear inside your shoes to correct biomechanical foot issues such as problems with how you walk, stand, or run. They can also help with foot pain caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and arthritis.
4. Doctor Surgical Guides
Surgical guides act as jigs to facilitate positioning of the surgical tools to perform an accurate execution of the surgical procedure on the patient with the help of computer-aided surgery.

5. Custom Hearing Aids
With the help of 3D printing, we can achieve very complex shapes. Since there is no additional cost we need to pay for the customization.
Each one is moulded and made to fit the wearer’s unique ear anatomy. Your hearing professional will make a quick, painless earmold while you’re in the office. They then send that mold to the manufacturer, where the hearing aid shell and components are precision-crafted to specifications.
The results are hearing aids that fit more easily and snugly than standard hearing aids and a hearing solution that is personalized just for you, literally from the inside out.
6. Custom Braces for Teeth Alignment
