Abstract

3D Printing has become the go-to term when newer advances in medical and dental healthcare sectors are discussed in any manner. The term has become associated with futuristic technology which will revolutionise the medical and dental healthcare industry. 3D printing, however, has been functional since the 1980s, hitherto known as rapid prototyping, and has already been adopted by many industries as a cost-effective manufacturing technology. There are, however, many drawbacks to the method, which are yet to be resolved to achieve universal adoption. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the 3D printing process and the various techniques involved in a concise, descriptive manner. It should be pointed out that 3D printing for commercial healthcare has only been available for the past few years with a slow adoption rate and long-term clinical results are yet to be investigated.
