Abstract

Background: 3D printing technology is widely used, with its application majorly prevailing in the medical field.

Objective: In this paper, the applications of 3D printing technology in the medical field are classified and summarized, and their characteristics are introduced.

Methods: This paper mainly summarizes the contribution of 3D printing technology to the field of medicine, as well as four applications of 3D printing technology in medicine, and also introduces some examples of clinical application of 3D printing.

Results: 3D printing has proved to be an emerging art and a new innovation. It has a variety of different medical applications. Because of its limitations, it is not routinely used in clinical practice. However, it will be open to the public in the near future due to technological advances. It will provide new opportunities for every healthcare provider and seeker, and it will become a modern technology for innovative medical practices.

Conclusion: 3D printing technology has been significantly developed and applied to oral cavity, implants and even human organs in the medical fieldand shows a vigorous development trend. It is believed that this technology will significantly benefit mankind in the future.

Keywords: 3D printing, technology, medical field, stomatology, artificial joint, organ model.
