As the number of people suffering from orthopedic, cardiac, and dental diseases is increasing, the demand for 3D dental crowns, 3D dental bridges, 3D acetabular hip implants, shoulder implants, and various other implants is rising. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the US had around 65 million people suffering from periodontitis i.e. Inflammation and infection of the ligaments and bones that support the teeth. This mainly occurred due to the rising prevalence of periodontitis, diabetes-related gangrene, osteoarthritis, and peripheral vascular disease. Similarly, the rise in prevalence of other medical conditions is driving the demand for use of 3D printed implants industry. Major players in the 3D printed implants market are 3D Systems Corporations, Stratasys Ltd., Arcam AB, EnvisionTEC, SLM Solutions Group AG, Organovo HoldingsInc., Oxford Performance Materials, Materialise, Cyfuse Biomedical K.K., and Bio3D Technologies. The stringent approval process for the selection of a new material to be used in 3D implants is a time-consuming process that acts as a restraint for the 3D printed implants market. 3D Printing requires high-quality materials that should adhere to specific criteria set by regulatory bodies such as US FDA. These regulatory bodies provide procedure guidelines, requirements, and monitor material quality control. For example, the US FDA approved spinal implants made from titanium alloy, but it didn't approve titanium alloy to be used in any other medical device. For each new use of the material, manufacturing companies need to get approval again from regulatory bodies. This causes a lag in the manufacturer's operational cycle and delays the product launch, thus affecting sales and restraining the growth of the 3D printed implants market. Many companies in this market are collaborating with various hospitals and rehabilitation centres to provide customizable devices for the specific needs of patients. These collaborations are aimed to be mutually beneficial for both, as the companies can use the network of the hospitals to promote their product and the hospitals would get customizable devices at their convenience. For example, In September 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a collaboration with Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to encourage innovation in the 3D medical devices and implants. Similarly, in July 2022, Envista Holdings Corporation announced commercial partnership with dentalcorp Holdings to develop dental implants. The US FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is the regulatory authority for companies that manufacture, repackage, relabel, and/or import medical devices sold in the United States. The medical devices made using 3D printing technology are subject to regulatory requirements before they are marketed (premarket requirements), and also after they are marketed (post-market requirements). FDA classifies 3D printed medical devices into three classes, i.e., Class I, II, and III, with regulatory controls minimum for class I devices and maximum for class III devices. Most class III devices require premarket approval whereas class I devices are exempted from the approval. The manufacturers of 3D printed medical implants are required to establish and follow quality systems to ensure that their products consistently meet applicable requirements and specifications. The manufacturers also need to comply with FDA's standards regarding device design, manufacturing, and testing considerations during the development of 3D printed medical devices.
