“…Improved outcomes with a higher predictability of the postoperative result have been shown in a study by Xiao et al, who investigated the feasibility of 3D printing in the craniofacial deformity. 10 As previously described in a study by Legocki et al, 11 with the necessary knowhow and a simple infrastructure of 3D printers and software, clinically valuable and precise patient-specific models can be printed at a lower price than the professional ones. Further development of 3D printing technology would provide more facilities with the ability to produce cutting guides based on an in-house approach.…”

Objectives/Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to explore whether the production of in-hospital, low-cost surgical cutting guides would be possible and to assess different cutting guide shapes to facilitate the surgery and the application with instruments. Study Design: Cohort study. Methods: Using free computer-aided design software, surgical cutting guides for the mandible and fibula were designed and used to perform virtual segmental osteotomies and fibula transplants in seven patients. Results: Fourteen virtual osteotomies were performed using the free software and the proposed workflow. Thirteen guides were then printed to transfer the virtual planning information to the operating room. Conclusions: Virtual planning and the three-dimensional (3D) printing of guides for mandibular reconstruction is reliable with the aid of an in-hospital 3D laboratory. We also demonstrated that different guides with different shapes could be produced with benefits during surgery.

“…These objects were mainly fabricated in factory and laboratory with an average time and cost of 18.9 h and $1,353.31 respectively. Without lab or proficiency with printing software, low-cost 3D maxillofacial models could be fabricated with a cost of only $90 (Legocki et al, 2017). While commercial models can be manufactured with serializable materials and advanced virtual planning, this lowcost method can generate models with high-fidelity as educational and surgical planning tools.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) printing enables patient-specific anatomical level productions with high adjustability and resolution in microstructures. With cost-effective manufacturing for high productivity, 3D printing has become a leading healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturing technology, which is suitable for variety of applications including tissue engineering models, anatomical models, pharmacological design and validation model, medical apparatus and instruments. Today, 3D printing is offering clinical available medical products and platforms suitable for emerging research fields, including tissue and organ printing. In this review, our goal is to discuss progressive 3D printing technology and its application in medical materials. The additive overview also provides manufacturing techniques and printable materials.

“…These include 3D printed surgical instruments, anatomical models and cutting guides which may or may not contact patients but play an integral role in complex surgical planning and patient outcome . Such applications are increasingly used by reconstructive surgeons and include the use of digital planning, even without printing a model or guide. 3D printed prosthetics that are not implanted but provide structural support (prosthetic leg) or fill defects (prosthetic nose, ear or eye) also interact with tissue surfaces and as such need to be considered here.…”
