“…For example, different silicone materials could be used to make a 3D-printed model of a postpartum perineal laceration that could be used to provide training on suturing to physicians [ 57 ]. The use of 3D-printed embryo models with different gestational ages and proportions can help to understand the dynamics of embryonic development, which lays a foundation for deriving more knowledge in this field [ 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Moreover, the use of computer-aided design software to create cervical prototypes and add tumor masses and vascular openings could help to realistically simulate a model of cervical cancer that exhibits bleeding [ 16 ].…”

“…Three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, is a method used to create a variety of intricate structures and complex shapes using 3D model information. This technique involves the layer-by-layer deposition of materials, building them up on one another to form the final object (Ngo et al, 2018;Yasli et al, 2023). Among additive manufacturing methods vat photopolymerization such as digital light processing (DLP) and stereolithography (SLA) is one of the oldest and most widely used low-cost techniques.…”

Purpose Three-dimensional (3D) printing is popular for many applications including the production of photocatalysts. This paper aims to focus on developing of 3D-printed photocatalyst-nano composite lattice structure. Digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing of photocatalyst composites was performed using photosensitive resin mixed with 0.5% Wt. of TiO2 powder and varying amounts (0.025% Wt. to 0.2% Wt.) of graphene nanoplatelet powder. The photocatalytic efficiency of DLP 3D-printed photocatalyst TiO2 composite was investigated, and the effects of nano graphite powder incorporation on the photocatalytic activity, thermal and mechanical properties were investigated. Design/methodology/approach Methods involve 3D computer-aided design modeling, printing parameters and comprehensive characterization techniques such as structural equation modeling, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and mechanical testing. Findings Results highlight successful dispersion and characteristics of TiO2 and graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) powders, intricate designs of 3D-printed lattice structures, and the influence of GNPs on thermal behavior and mechanical properties. Originality/value The study suggests applicability in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation, showcasing the adaptability of 3 D printing in designing effective photocatalysts. Future research should focus on practical applications and the long-term durability of these 3D-printed composites. Graphical abstract

Cancer is a complex disease with global significance, necessitating continuous advancements in diagnostics and treatment. 3D printing technology has emerged as a revolutionary tool in cancer diagnostics, offering immense potential in detection and monitoring. Traditional diagnostic methods have limitations in providing molecular and genetic tumor information that is crucial for personalized treatment decisions. Biomarkers have become invaluable in cancer diagnostics, but their detection often requires specialized facilities and resources. 3D printing technology enables the fabrication of customized sensor arrays, enhancing the detection of multiple biomarkers specific to different types of cancer. These 3D-printed arrays offer improved sensitivity, allowing the detection of low levels of biomarkers, even in complex samples. Moreover, their specificity can be fine-tuned, reducing false-positive and false-negative results. The streamlined and cost-effective fabrication process of 3D printing makes these sensor arrays accessible, potentially improving cancer diagnostics on a global scale. By harnessing 3D printing, researchers and clinicians can enhance early detection, monitor treatment response, and improve patient outcomes. The integration of 3D printing in cancer diagnostics holds significant promise for the future of personalized cancer care.
