Along with the aeronautics and automotive industries, the medical sector is one of the most widely used sectors for additive manufacturing. The numerous advantages offered by this technology in terms of customisation, freedom of geometric shapes, reduction of design time and manufacturing costs, are increasingly being used by healthcare professionals.
The ability of 3D printing to create solutions adapted to each patient has turned certain production methods upside down; the best known being that of hearing aids. Today, almost 100% of these devices are 3D printed.
