More Than Just Toys: How Additive Manufacturing is Advancing Healthcare

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has come a long way since the first 3D printer. Did you know that there are seven different technologies that make up the additive manufacturing industry? In this session, you will learn about the various types of 3D printing and how these technologies are transforming the medical and veterinary fields today. This session will provide an in-depth look at different AM methods, such as Material Extrusion, Material Jetting, Vat Photopolymerization, and their applications in creating personalized prosthetics, implants, surgical tools, patient-specific solutions, and veterinary treatments. By exploring real-world examples, we will highlight how these technologies are improving patient care and offering more tailored treatment options for both humans and animals.
