Prosthetics for animals have been around for decades, but it has always been an expensive and complicated procedure. However, the arrival of 3D printing technology has made this much easier, cheaper, and more accessible. For instance, the 3D printing of a prosthetic limb for a dog can be made in a few days and can cost less than traditional methods. Moreover, 3D printed prosthetics for animals are custom-made, thus providing a perfect anatomical fit for each pet patient. The prosthetics are also lightweight and can improve the pet’s mobility and overall quality of life.
After all, 3D printed prosthetics are already a revolution for humans, so why shouldn’t they be the same for our beloved pets?
Apart from prosthetics, 3D printing technology has made it possible to customize accessories such as wheelchairs, braces, and other mobility devices for pets with special needs. For example, a company called Dive Design has used 3D printing technology to create a custom wheelchair device for an handicapped dog, earning the award for Best Bespoke Solution in The Cool Parts Showcase for 2021. This type of customization ensures that pets with physical disabilities can enjoy a variety of activities such as swimming, walking, or exercising with ease.
Just like humans, pets can suffer from dental problems too. A 3D printed dental implant is a cost-effective solution that can improve oral health for dogs, cats, rodents and birds with dental complications. Dental implants can provide support to pet teeth and offer an alternative to tooth extractions. With 3D printing technology, veterinary dentists can create dental models that are precisely tailored to the pet’s unique oral system.
For example, our new dental resin Ultracur3D® DMD 1005 could be the perfect material to create moulds for this type of application.
3D printing has also opened the door to creating personalized pet toys, food bowls, feeding stations, and various other products. By using 3D printing technology, pet owners can make durable and custom-made items that fit their pet’s specific needs. This customization includes adjusting the size, material, and shape of the object to match the pet’s preferences. Furthermore, 3D printing has enabled pet owners to design and print their pet’s face on their toys or other products, which can create an emotional bond between pet and owner.
The future of 3D printing in the pet industry looks bright. With the advancement in technology, 3D printing can benefit not only pets but also pet owners and veterinarians. The applications of 3D printing in the pet industry are endless, and it is exciting to see what the future holds. It is anticipated that 3D printing technology will help pet owners across the globe to provide better care and improve the quality of life of their pets.
In the world of pets, 3D printing technology has opened up new possibilities to improve the lives of animals in need. It has made prosthetics and accessories more accessible, cost-effective, and custom-made, which can enhance the pet’s overall quality of life. The future is very promising for 3D printing technology in the pet industry, and we can expect new and innovative ways to cater to the needs of our furry friends. It is an exciting time for pet owners, veterinarians, and animal lovers alike.
