How Have You Benefited from 3D Printing in the Medical Field?

[Allen]

Here are some interesting stats that I came across:

• A typical kidney transplant can cost more than $300,000. 3D printing has the potential to reduce that number to less than $100,000.
• Almost 114,000 people in the U.S. are on the waiting list for a life-saving organ donation.
• 3D printing produces perfectly fitted devices quickly, while remaining both functional and cost-effective

 

Are any of you part of hospital organizations or healthcare centers that are using 3D Printing in innovative ways?  

 

 

Also, wow, who knew that my kidney was so expensive!
