“…Widely used 3D printing technologies and specially designed models allow students to study complex anatomical regions and areas that are difficult for them to comprehend, requiring various levels of expertise [31,32]. In the medical field, 3D printed models serve as a great visualization tool that can represent the anatomy of patients, with great potential in presurgical planning and surgery [33][34][35][36]. A realistic 3D printed anatomical model can increase the effectiveness of surgery, can be used for determining the safest treatment strategy, and for designing patient-specific surgical instruments [37].…”

The choice of technique for the creation of a 3D digital human bone model from natural specimens has a critical impact on the final result and usability of the obtained model. The cornerstone factor in 3D modeling is the number of faces of polygon mesh, along with topological accuracy, as well as resolution and level of detail of the texture map. Three different techniques (3D scanning, photogrammetry, and micro-computed tomography) have been used to create a digital 3D model of the human zygomatic bone. As implementation and use of 3D models can be divided into three main categories—visualization, simulation, and physical replication to obtain a functioning model (implant or prothesis)—the obtained models have been evaluated by the density and topological accuracy of the polygonal mesh, as well as by visual appearance by inspecting the obtained texture map. The obtained data indicate that for biomedical applications and computer biomechanical simulation the most appropriate technique of 3D model obtainment is micro-computed tomography, in its turn for visualization and educational purposes, the photogrammetry technique is a more preferable choice.

“…In particular, 3D printing has seen an increasingly frequent use in the treatment of pathologies that require a surgical approach, especially the eld of orthopaedics [1][2][3][4]. In these clinical cases, the surgical treatment is supported by using 3D printed anatomical templates of the region of interest to help the training of the surgical team during the preoperative planning or to perform a simulation of the surgery [5]. This strategy has already shown evident bene ts, particularly in pre-operative use, compared to traditional treatment.…”

“…Hip surgery is a demanding surgery that requires a very accurate pre-operative planning for the complexity of the anatomical structures to be treated, which often requires the planning of multiple access routes during the surgery [19,20]. Therefore, in addition to the need to work in a team with a remarkable surgical experience, for an orthopaedic surgeon the use of a 3D bone model reveals to be crucial [5,11,14].…”

The use of three-dimensional (3D) printed patient-specific anatomical models is nowadays a viable strategy for improving surgical outcome in medicine. In adult surgery, 3D printing technology is commonly studied, but its use in paediatric surgery is still under development. This work presents the implementation of 3D printing technology in Orthopaedic department of the paediatric hospital “Santobono-Pausilipon” in Naples by producing 3D printed anatomical models of paediatric patients. The 3D printed models produced were used for the training of the surgical team during the preoperative planning and for carrying out a surgical simulation. The anatomical models are designed in compliance with the current European Medical Devices regulation and following the already existing guidelines in literature. The impact of the 3D printed anatomical models used, a total of seven printed anatomical models based on four patients, is then evaluated throughout a questionnaire proposed to the surgical team, composed by eight paediatric orthopaedic surgeons. Surgeons answered to a total of ten questions, six scale-based questions and four free-text questions. Results obtained from the questionnaires highlighted how 3D printed anatomical models can lead to a better understating of the treated pathologies, carrying relevant improvements in both the surgical team training and the surgical outcome.

“…3D printing is used in prototyping and product development to create physical models and functional prototypes quickly and cost-effectively. In healthcare, 3D printing enables the production of customized bone implants [7,8] and anatomical models for surgical planning [9,10]. It is also employed in the aerospace and automotive sectors for lightweight and complex component manufacturing [11][12][13].…”

3D printing enables the creation of complex and sophisticated designs, offering enhanced efficiency, customizability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Ceramics, known for their heat resistance, hardness, wear resistance, and electrical insulation properties, are particularly suited for aerospace, automotive, electronics, healthcare, and energy applications. The rise of 3D printing in ceramics has opened new possibilities, allowing the fabrication of complex structures and the use of diverse raw materials, overcoming the limitations of conventional fabrication methods. This review explores the transformative impact of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, across various sectors, explicitly focusing on ceramics and the different 3D ceramics printing technologies. Furthermore, it presents several active companies in ceramics 3D printing, proving the close relation between academic research and industrial innovation. Moreover, the 3D printed ceramics market forecast shows an annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 4% in the ceramics 3D printing market, reaching USD 3.6 billion by 2030.
