The rationale for using 3-D printing allows for hands on viewing of a specific organ. It will allow for better collaboration between surgical professionals and provide easier explanation to the patient of the diagnosis and possible outcomes for treatment.

Currently nurses and doctors have two dimensional images in which they diagnose a health issue with a patient. With the new technology of 3-D printing they can transform a two dimensional image into an actual organ in which they can then use to formulate a best practice plan for treatment. It is important to note that although 3-D printing has been available since the 80's it was not used until 2015 for a surgical team performing a complicated spinal procedure.
