3D Printing Technology and Prosthetics

Published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, “Implementation of 3D Printing Technology in the Field of Prosthetics: Past, Present, and Future“ is a useful read for inventors, researchers and businesses interested in knowing more about the race to design and produce low cost prosthetic limbs in response to rising demand.

The paper’s commentary is made in the context of the United States’ regulatory environment, and regulation does vary across borders for medical devices and prosthetics.

While the issues related to design and end user interests may be the same or similar, socio-economic factors and regulatory challenges can impact national health insurance support for bionic limbs.
