3D printing is definitely a boon to the healthcare sector. It solves the problem of the disabled individual and the people affected by accidents by providing prosthetic limbs and other specially customized parts according to the need of their body. This would not be like the artificial limbs that are uncomfortable to put on. This procedure is also known as additive manufacturing, in which the digital image is transformed as a 3D object, which would be achieved using the additive processes by placing several layers of materials together. There are few important materials used in developing the limbs and organs namely engineering grade plastic, PEEK, PLA, and resin which are printable only using the industrial machines. The 6Wresearch states that the 3D market in India would cross $79 million by 2021.
