Summary
In this technologically advanced decade, many cutting-edge hybrid applications, innovations, and smart utilities are being developed and implemented all over the world to improve and streamline everyday life. India's young population is a huge draw for these ventures. The healthcare system is increasingly incorporating these technologies into its central operating model. The primary application of 3D printing in the healthcare industry is the creation of prototypes or cells for immediate clinical use. However, their use has enormous potential in Indian healthcare and research. Both current and potential applications of 3D printing in medicine fall into several broad categories. This chapter provides an overview of 3D printing with a wide range of growth potential and brings together researchers from the engineering and healthcare fields.
