3D Printing in Healthcare Market Segment Analysis - By Type

SLS Printing has dominated the 3D Printing in Healthcare Market as compared to the other types. SLS Printer uses powdered material as the substrate for printing new objects. A laser draws the shape of the object in the powder, fusing it together. Then a new layer of powder is placed and the process repeats building each layer one by one to form the object. Laser sintering is used to create plastic, metal and ceramic objects. The degree of detail is limited only by the accuracy of the laser and the quality of the powder, so it is possible to create detailed and delicate structures with this type of printer. Fused Deposition Modeling printers are more common and inexpensive than the Selective Laser Sintering printers. However their applications are currently limited.
