| The 3D printed medical device market is projected to reach 2.77 billion U.S. dollars by 2025 with a CAGR of 16.8% from 2017 to 2025. In 3D printing, three-dimensional objects are created by creating a continuous layer of raw materials. Each Layers are connected to each other until the object is completely finished. Objects are generated from digital 3D files, such as computer-aided design (CAD) charts or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).  Because 3D printing allows designers to easily make changes without the need for additional equipment or tools, the flexibility of 3D printing equipment allows manufacturers to create models that match the patient's anatomy, even models with very complex internal structures. Has drawn interest in 3D printing from manufacturers of medical devices and other products, including food, household products and automotive parts, and scientists are working on how to make organs such as the heart or liver using 3D printing. According to Xiaobian understand, 3D printing medical equipment can be divided into two types: external wearable devices and clinical research equipment.External wearable device is made for each patient specific 3D printing device.In this process, 3D printing is usually accompanied by 3D scanning to help create geometry. These devices can be connected to the outside of a person.These devices are larger or thicker than those surgical devices or implants that have to be implanted in the body.This actually helps to overcome any mechanical strength problems with 3D printing.The clinical research device is Designed for clinical research, it is created in small quantities and can undergo design changes after evaluation.Clinical research equipment has multiple plastic parts, with 3D printing providing a way to create cost-effective clinically useful parts.
