Anatomical Modelling Market Trends
- Rapid growth in 3D Printing Technology fuels market growth
In recent years, rapid growth in 3D printing technology due to its design accuracy, low-cost rapid prototyping, good integration, quick rebuilding, and product safety. In addition, 3D printing technology is effectively used to produce 3D anatomical models for medical students, doctors, and other medical professionals to provide valuable insight for treatment or surgical planning and help to achieve the best outcomes for the patient. Some complex organs of the human body which cannot be seen visible even after dissection of the cadaver can be printed using a 3D bioprinter that provides haptic studies on organs and bones to students. These 3D printed components are useful in pre-operative planning such as analysis and diagnosis formulation of afflicted organs. Therefore, rapid growth in 3D printing technology is driving the anatomical modelling for medical & biological education and treatment and is boosting the growth of the Anatomical Modelling Market.
Furthermore, the market players are involved in product launches, strategic agreements, and acquisitions to augment their market positions. For instance, In November 2020, Materialise NV (Belgium) launched Mimics VR Viewer for medical planning, education, and communication. It allows physicians to address more complex cases through personalized planning. Such initiatives are driving the anatomical modelling market and are projected to boost the market demand during the forecast period.
