Three-dimensional (3D) printed surgical models are tangible replicas of human anatomy produced through additive manufacturing technology. They offer highly accurate representations of organs, bones, or tissues derived from medical imaging data and are utilized to plan, simulate, and practice complex surgical procedures.
The primary model types of 3D-printed surgical models include soft tissue models, bone models, organ models, vascular models, and tumor models. Soft tissue models replicate the texture and flexibility of human soft tissues for surgical practice and planning. Material types include polymers, metals, ceramics, composites, and biomaterials, with technologies such as fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, digital light processing, and binder jetting. Applications include preoperative planning, surgical training, patient-specific modeling, anatomical education, and surgical simulation, serving hospitals, surgical centers, diagnostic imaging centers, academic and research institutes, medical device companies, specialty clinics, and other end users.
Tariffs have affected the 3d printed surgical models market by increasing the cost of imported 3d printers, biomaterials, and advanced modeling equipment. This has impacted segments such as organ models and vascular models, particularly in regions like North America and Europe that depend on imported high-precision equipment. However, tariffs are encouraging domestic manufacturing, local sourcing of materials, and innovation in cost-effective 3d printing solutions, which may enhance supply chain resilience and foster market growth.

The three-dimensional (3D) printed surgical models market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.85 billion in 2025 to $0.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for surgical planning tools, advancement in 3d printing technologies, adoption of polymer and biomaterials, growth of medical training programs, increasing research in anatomical modeling.
The three-dimensional (3D) printed surgical models market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with ai and machine learning, development of multi-material and composite models, expansion of surgical simulation centers, demand for customized patient-specific solutions, investment in real-time surgical planning platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include patient-specific model development, advanced surgical simulation, integration with medical imaging software, customizable organ and tissue models, preoperative planning optimization.
The growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries is anticipated to drive the growth of the 3D-printed surgical models market going forward. Minimally invasive surgeries are surgical techniques that reduce the size and number of incisions required, typically employing small tools, cameras, and robotic assistance to decrease postoperative complications and shorten recovery time. The adoption of minimally invasive surgeries is increasing due to the rising preference for procedures that shorten patient recovery, minimize pain, and lower the risk of postoperative complications. 3D-printed surgical models provide surgeons with precise, patient-specific anatomical replicas that facilitate detailed preoperative planning and practice, enhancing accuracy and safety during minimally invasive surgeries while reducing complication risks. For example, according to the Annual Report 2023 by Intuitive Surgical Inc., a US-based medical device company, approximately 2,286,000 surgical procedures were performed using da Vinci surgical systems in 2023, up from about 1,875,000 procedures in 2022. Therefore, the growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries is driving the growth of the 3D-printed surgical models market.
Leading companies operating in the 3D-printed surgical models market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as high-fidelity patient-specific anatomical 3D printers, to enhance surgical planning, improve medical training, and accelerate device development. High-fidelity patient-specific anatomical 3D printers are advanced 3D printing systems that create accurate, life-accurate replicas of a patient's anatomy using materials that mimic real tissue and bone, helping surgeons plan procedures, train medical staff, and test devices more effectively than traditional generic models or cadavers. For example, in June 2024, Stratasys Ltd., a US-based 3D printing technology company, launched the J5 Digital Anatomy 3D printer, a high-fidelity patient-specific anatomical 3D printer designed to produce lifelike patient-specific anatomical models. The J5 Digital Anatomy printer features biomechanically accurate materials that mimic human tissue behavior, a compact office-friendly design, and high repeatability for precise modeling. It supports applications such as preoperative surgical planning, medical training, and iterative device prototyping while reducing reliance on animal testing and lowering operating room costs.
In December 2023, Mentice AB, a Sweden-based healthcare technology company, acquired Biomodex SAS for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Mentice seeks to significantly strengthen its technological capabilities in image-guided interventional therapy simulation by integrating Biomodex's advanced biorealistic 3D printing and flow systems, thereby expanding its product portfolio, enhancing procedural rehearsal solutions, and accelerating its strategic positioning in the rapidly growing patient-specific simulation and structural heart training market. Biomodex SAS is a France-based medical technology company specializing in 3D-printed, patient-specific surgical models.
