The utilization of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has revolutionized various fields, including biomedical applications. This abstract aims to explore the profound impact of 3D printing on the medical sector, highlighting its applications in tissue engineering, prosthetics, surgical planning, and drug delivery systems. 3D printing technology has enabled the creation of personalized medical devices and implants, which can be tailored to the specific requirements of patients. In tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting facilitates the development of patient-specific organs, offering hope for those suffering from organ failure. Furthermore, this technology has significantly improved the accuracy of surgical planning by providing realistic, anatomically detailed models of patients. Additionally, the use of 3D printing in creating prosthetics has led to enhanced mobility and improved quality of life for individuals with limb loss. Lastly, 3D printing has emerged as a promising strategy in drug delivery systems, offering novel approaches to the development of targeted therapies. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of 3D printing in the biomedical field and its potential future developments.
