Orthopedic 3D printing devices are medical tools developed through three-dimensional printing technology for use in orthopedic care. These devices allow for the creation of customized implants and prosthetics tailored to a patient's unique anatomy, leading to improved surgical outcomes and enhanced patient comfort. They also facilitate the rapid prototyping of surgical tools and anatomical models, aiding in more effective preoperative planning and shorter surgery durations.
The primary product categories in orthopedic 3D printing devices include printers, materials, software, and services. Orthopedic 3D printers are specialized machines designed to manufacture custom orthopedic implants, prosthetics, surgical tools, and patient-specific anatomical models. These devices utilize a range of technologies, such as stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, and others, for applications including joint replacement, spinal implants, craniomaxillofacial implants, dental implants, and more. The end users of these devices include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The orthopedic 3D printing devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides orthopedic 3D printing devices market statistics, including orthopedic 3D printing devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an orthopedic 3D printing devices market share, detailed orthopedic 3D printing devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the orthopedic 3D printing devices industry. This orthopedic 3D printing devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The orthopedic 3d printing devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.04 billion in 2024 to $2.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases, rising prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases, rising prevalence of surgical procedures, growing aging population, and increased incidence of osteoarthritis.
The orthopedic 3d printing devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of healthcare infrastructure, growing investment for healthcare facilities, rising adoption of 3D printing technologies, rising research and development opportunities, and growing demand for customized implants. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in 3D printing technology, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), advancements in materials, innovation in biocompatible materials, and advancements in other medical specialties.
The forecast of 10.8% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased costs for titanium and biocompatible polymers, key imports from Australia and Sweden, delaying custom implant production and surgical planning.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing incidence of orthopedic diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the orthopedic 3D printing devices market in the coming years. Orthopedic diseases encompass a variety of conditions that impact the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, often resulting in pain, mobility limitations, and disability. This rise is primarily attributed to the aging global population, as age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis become increasingly prevalent, leading to more musculoskeletal issues. Orthopedic 3D printing devices play a vital role in treating these conditions by producing personalized implants, prosthetics, and surgical guides, which enhance precision, promote faster recovery, and offer tailored solutions for complex musculoskeletal problems. For example, in March 2023, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK government agency, reported that the prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK)-related issues increased to 12.8% in 2022 from 12.1% in 2021. As a result, the increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases is a key factor fueling the orthopedic 3D printing devices market.
Key players in the orthopedic 3D printing devices market are prioritizing strategic collaborations to strengthen their product offerings, broaden their geographic presence, and solidify their market positions. Strategic collaborations involve formal alliances between companies that combine resources, expertise, and technology to foster innovation, enhance market penetration, and accelerate product development. For instance, in May 2022, Sculpteo, a cloud-based 3D printing company based in France, partnered with Daniel Robert Orthopedie, a Switzerland-based orthopedic specialist, to create the first eco-friendly, fully customizable 3D-printed orthopedic orthosis. This groundbreaking device is crafted from polyamide 11 (PA11), a recyclable, bio-based material derived from castor oil, presenting a sustainable alternative to conventional materials. The partnership enables the swift production of customized orthoses that are lightweight, breathable, and adaptable to various conditions across all age groups.
In January 2025, Ortho Solutions UK Limited, a medical device company based in the UK, announced its acquisition of Meshworks for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is aimed at reinforcing Ortho Solutions' presence in the foot and ankle medical device segment by incorporating Meshworks' advanced additive manufacturing capabilities in custom 3D printed implants. The integration is expected to speed up the development of innovative, patient-specific orthopedic solutions, ultimately leading to better clinical outcomes. Meshworks, a UK-based producer of customized orthopedic implants, specializes in orthopedic 3D printing technologies.
