Abstract

Currently, 3D-printing technology is almost universally used in various fields, and the list of materials used in 3D-printing is becoming more and more extensive. One of the most popular and imoirtant areas for the application of this technology is medicine, or rather transplantology. The ability to create layouts based on individual anatomical features, the accuracy of the virtual analogue and the high production speed make 3D-printing extremely promising in organ transplantation. At present, there is already experience of creating artificial organs and body parts using this method. Expanding the range of use of 3D-printing in medicine will make it possible to cure many diseases, which will improve the quality of people’s lives. This article provides a brief overview of the history of 3D printing and its application in medicine.
