3D printing is becoming increasingly implemented in medical professions, from surgeons to pharmacists and from dentists to biomedical engineers. Several uses of the technology are already generating revenue as viable medical businesses, like dental applications, prosthetics and hearing devices. However, lack of skilled professionals, and problems related to material characterization and development are some of the factors restraining the growth. Also regulatory requirements for the approval are inhibiting the growth of the global 3D printing in medical / dental and medicine applications market. The role of tools to manipulate 3D Models  and the role of Medical Imaging Computing is growing fiercely.

The 3D Medical Conference is a platform and information interface enabling an exchange of information on market requirements, research interests and current results, skills and resources as well as facilitating the building of future partnerships. Academics, doctors, nurses, engineers, designers, and managers are invited to lecture on their state-of-the-art developments and future prospects or display their products and offers as exhibitor.
