"A Glimpse of Recent/Current Medical Applications & Benefits of 3D Printing.''

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a manufactur- ing method in which objects are made by fusing or depositing materials, in layers to produce a 3D object.

Medical applications for 3D printing are expanding rapidly and are expected to revolutionize health care. An attempt has been made as usual in this Booklet to present comprehensively the followings:

The Medical Uses for 3DPrinting, both actual & potential, organized into several broad categories, including:

• Tissue and organ fabrication,
• Creation of customized prosthetics,
• Implants,
• Anatomical models and
• Pharmaceutical research regarding:
• Drug dosage forms,
• Delivery, and
• Discovery.
• The Several Benefits of the Application in Medicine (along with few relevant Illustrations.), including:
• The customization and personalization of medical products,
• Drugs & equipments,
• Cost-effectiveness,
• Increased productivity,
• The democratization of design and manufacturing, and
• Enhanced collaboration.

However, it should be cautioned that despite recent significant and exciting medical advances involving 3D printing, notable scientific and regulatory challenges remain and the most transformative applications for this technology will need time to evolve.
