When 3D printing is mentioned, it is probably most often associated with plastic. While polymers do represent the bulk of the materials used with this fabrication process, metals are quickly becoming a preferred option for a number of applications. Within the medical technology space, metals are being used with 3D printing for orthopedic applications, such as implants and instruments. It is also being used to create small, yet strong, components in devices.
