June 09, 2025 - The rising demand for regenerative medicine is a major factor fueling revenue growth in the 4D printing market within the healthcare sector. In biomedical engineering, 4D printed materials are increasingly utilized to develop and manufacture medical devices such as stents, occluders, microneedles, smart 3D cell-culture microenvironments, drug delivery platforms, wound closure systems, and implantable devices. With its ability to respond to external stimuli and leverage shape memory properties, 4D bioprinting offers promising applications in regenerative medicine and organ transplantation research.

In April 2024, 3D Systems announced that its 3D-printed, patient-specific cranial implant-known as the VSP PEEK Cranial Implant-received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA. This implant is part of an FDA-approved workflow that includes segmentation and 3D modeling software, the 3D Systems EXT 220 MED 3D printer, Evonik's VESTAKEEP i4 3DF PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material, and a standardized manufacturing process.

Scalability challenges remain a major obstacle to the growth of the 4D printing market, particularly in biomedical engineering. Producing structures in large volumes or at varying scales to meet patient-specific requirements poses significant difficulties. For 4D-printed biomedical devices to gain widespread adoption, manufacturing processes must be both efficient and cost-effective. However, existing 4D printing methods are often time-intensive and lack scalability, making them unsuitable for mass production.
