Optimization and Scale: Simplifying the Orthopedic Supply Chain with 3D Printing

As orthopedic devices become more complex, so do the challenges in manufacturing and supply chains. Traditional processes can involve 10-20 steps to produce a finished implant—but with 3D printing, that number can be cut in half.

In this video, Scott Reese and Lisa Hiller explore how additive manufacturing reduces complexity, improves reliability, and helps meet growing demand. By planning with the end in mind, 3D printing enables faster iteration, greater predictability, and a more efficient path to production—especially as the industry shifts toward cementless implants.

Watch now to see how 3D printing is transforming orthopedic manufacturing.
