3D printing medical device software solutions are used to produce medical devices with the help of additive manufacturing. In 3D printing, three-dimensional medical devices are created by adding successive layers of raw materials. Medical devices are produced from a digital 3-D file like Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) or a Computer-Aided Design (CAD). 3D printing solution is flexible, and it allows designers to make changes without the need for any additional tools. Manufacturers create medical devices matched to a patients’ anatomy. The software used in 3D printing medical devices performs several tasks such as printing, designing, analyzing, visualization, planning, and simulation.

Ongoing technological advancements in software solutions are driving the growth of the3D printing medical device software market. For a very long time, the 3D printing industry focused on the development of hardware and materials. The recent trend involves a considerable development of software solutions used in the 3D printing of medical devices. The interoperability of software solutions has greatly benefited the 3D printing industry. It has reduced the number of steps, tools, and efforts needed to design a model for printing. Technical advancements have paved the way for the development of innovative 3D-printed products to cater to the growing demand for 3D-printed medical devices in the healthcare industry. As conventional manufacturing processes are time-consuming, key players in the market are focusing on the development of novel products.

3D printing software is used to create a computer-aided design with the help of a scanner, modeling software, and digital camera. The design created using the software can be adjusted and modified before printing. Software used in 3D printing medical devices performs several functions like printing, analysis, visualization, planning, and design. The medical industry accounts for 13% of the share of the revenue of the overall 3D printing industry. Additives manufacturing is used in various healthcare applications ranging from prosthetics to surgical guides to dental to physical therapy. 3D printing software offers flexibility and allows medical professionals to create patient-centric devices at a reasonable cost. Factors such as technological advancements in software solutions, a rise in demand for low-cost 3D printed medical devices and increasing demand for customized medical devices are driving the growth of the market.
