The
global
biocompatible 3D printing materials market is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 21.77% during the forecast period. Based on type, the global
biocompatible 3D printing materials market has been segmented into polymer,
metal, and others.
Thermoplastics and photopolymers are
commonly used materials to produce medical devices. The design flexibility,
easy availability, and durability of polymers are the major factors that fuel
the adoption of polymers in various medical applications, including prostheses,
implants, and scaffolds. Additionally, the easy moldability and thermal
stability of polymers make them suitable for these applications.
Photopolymers provide excellent
thermal resistance, high impact strength, and improved elasticity when compared
with thermoplastics such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and PVA.
Epoxies, acrylate resins, and oxetane are some of the mainly used
photopolymers. Furthermore, acrylate resins are preferred to epoxy resins for
medical applications due to their low curing time and high cytotoxicity. Hence,
the polymer segment of the global biocompatible 3D printing materials market is
expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
