Abstract

This paper presents a brief review on medical applications of one of the fast-growing technologies namely 3D printing. It provides means for fabricating 3D human organs which can be used for training purposes and planning surgeries. Moreover, 3D printed organs and prostheses can be implanted in patient body. This technology is being improved and the costs associated with that is reduced making it a vital field in biomedical engineering.
