Abstract

The world is constantly witnessing rapid development. This development is the reason for the increased use of more advanced technologies in almost every field. Medical science is the field which is focusing on the use of such advanced technologies in their working environment. Additive manufacturing is now evolving as one of the important tools in medicine. Almost every field in medicine such as dentistry, orthopedics, neurosurgery, pharmaceutics, and oncology is using this technology. The advantage of technology may include the creation of complex structures and personalized surgical guides, organ printing, and fast prototypes which are not possible with traditional manufacturing. This paper presents a systematic review of the role of additive manufacturing in medical science and the application of 3D printing in various fields of medicine.
