From healthcare to manufacturing, 3D printing set to grow big in India

A team of surgeons from Medanta: The Medicity, Gurugram, last year successfully implanted a 3D-printed vertebra in a 32-year-old woman - helping her walk again after a bout of disabling spinal tuberculosis.

The 10-hour-long surgery was the first-of-its-kind for reconstruction with a 3D-printed titanium implant in India, and third in the world.

Not just healthcare, 3D printing, or Additive Manufacturing (AM), has the potential to transform many industries in the years to come and sensing the mammoth opportunities, key players are now arriving in India with their 3D solutions and technologies.

Although in a nascent stage, market intelligence solutions firm 6Wresearch predicts that India's 3D printer prototyping and materials market will hit $79 million by 2021.

In a bid to take industrial manufacturing in India to a new level, printing and PC major HP Inc this month brought its acclaimed Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) India 3D Printer Market.

"While verticals like automotive, defense and manufacturing, in general, will be the key focus for us, healthcare is a promising area for HP Inc in the long term in India," Summer Chandra, Managing Director, HP Inc India, told IANS.
