Abstract
The development of 3D technologies, the wide spread and improvement of 3D printers, elaboration and use of new materials and their combinations have contributed to general availability of 3D printers in medicine. The use of 3D technology in surgery is possible in the following areas. First of all, there are a lot of various implants, which are widely used in dentistry, traumatology and reconstructive surgery. Secondly, 3D models are suitable for simulating surgical operation in complex cases. Thirdly, scanning and printing of organs and tissues with living cells, the so-called bioprinting, is progressively used. Fourthly, there is an experience of using 3D printers for creating medical instruments. Finally, 3D printers have been properly investigated to create various endoprostheses. Thereby, the perspective of 3D technologies is huge. They will necessarily be one of the dynamic areas in medicine, particulary in surgery in the nearest future.

Summary
Стремительное развитие 3D-технологий позволило не только расширять возможности 3D-печати, но и использовать новые материалы, применение которых ранее казалось невозможным. Выбор материала для изготовления определенной продукции имеет ключевое значение в дальнейшем его применении. Создание биоинертных материалов и применение их для создания различных имплантатов позволило создавать прототипы и изучать их свойства при помещении в живой организм [24, 29]. 3D-биопринтеры Возможность использования в качестве материала для печати живых клеток и тканей, расширило применение 3D-принтеров в медицине и способствовало появлению нового термина «биопринтинг».
