The invention of the 3D printer was first described in 1950 by Raymond F. Jones, who called it a "molecular spray." In 1985, Johannes F. Gottwald patented a device that formed a metal fabrication with a reusable surface, which could then be used again. This is perhaps the earliest known patent describing 3D printing. Since then, the industry has rapidly advanced and is experiencing significant growth.

The most obvious benefit of AM is that it can be produced quickly. The process can be refined to achieve micron-level precision, which increases the accuracy of dental implants and reduces patient pain. Additionally, AM products are relatively traditional in nature, meaning they have characteristics such as constant quality and durability. In short, AM is a highly desirable tool for many industries. This is because it allows for rapid prototyping and reduces development time.

The growth of the 3D printer additive manufacturing market is predicted to be highest in North America. With a market size of $3.39 billion in 2018, North America is expected to dominate the market in the coming years. Increased investment in advanced manufacturing technologies and presence of major players in this region will drive the growth in this region. The fastest-growing regions will be Asia-Pacific and Latin America, with growth driven by the adoption of new-age manufacturing techniques and demand for customized products. Meanwhile, the Middle East and Africa are expected to show a steady growth due to the adoption of modern software solutions and the emergence of emerging markets.

The benefits of 3D printed surgical instruments are not only the reduced cost and time required, but the design flexibility. Furthermore, these instruments can be customized to meet particular functions, reducing risks associated with traditional surgery. Researchers in the US Army and Navy have created a 3D-printed surgical kit for use in the field. The kit contains Kelly hemostat, needle driver, tissue forceps, scissors, a retractor, and scalpel handle.

The use of additive manufacturing systems has already been expanded beyond the range of mechanical medical devices. However, there are still many challenges associated with expanding the application of the technology to other industries. Increasing the number of uses for a medical device is one of the main challenges in this field. Often, the new material is not biocompatible. Further, sterilization is necessary in order to sterilize the device, making it ineffective in the long run.

The ability to create a patient-specific implant is a major advantage of the 3D printer. Typically, implants have to be custom-made, which is time-consuming and costly. With the aid of a 3D printer, implants can be customized to fit a patient's body and can be printed in a titanium alloy. Ortho Baltic Implants' titanium alloy implant is an excellent example of this type of implant that is capable of being printed using the direct metal laser sintering process.
