3D printing is the process of creating physical products from virtual files. Currently, 3D printing is a $700 million industry, and is projected to grow into an $8.9 billion industry over the next ten years. About 21% of that $8.9 billion will be spent on medical applications. This disruptive technology is changing the very fabric of the healthcare industry, and is expected to do so even further over the coming decades.
Check out these examples of 3D printing.
