The advancement of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing, has opened up new possibilities across various industries. But one of its most promising applications is in the field of healthcare.

The technology is primarily used in North America, Europe, and increasingly in Asia. But in emerging economies, where access to high-quality medical devices and prosthetics is often limited, 3D printing is emerging as a game-changer.

In remote and economically underdeveloped areas, 3D-printed prosthetic limbs, disease prevention tools, and other medical items offer affordable and customized solutions that can improve the lives of many individuals in these regions.

In this article, we explore the role of 3D printing in creating accessible medical devices...
