Do you have any idea how an IUD works? What makes you think they need to be customised?
They are a simple device requiring no customisation. One or two sizes fits all.
They rely on either embedded hormones or the inclusion of a reactive metal, usually copper.
They have a horrible safety record and are no more effective than pills or barriers.


IUDs are already mass produced and coming up with a pointless design to print them cannot compete on a cost per unit basis.
Another case of "3D Printing will save the world" miss-information.
