3D printers are affordable and conveniently used in dental and oral facial office to produce anatomic casts and implant drilling guides.

This allows for same down crowns, prothesis, and implants with individual precision for the perfect fit.

Light is directed by the computer to polymerize the resin layer by layer to create the desired 3D object

Bioprinting is a layer-by-layer deposition of protein solutions, enabling fabrication of complex, multicomponent systems with precise control over material allocation.

This allows for visual of the matrix of viruses, extracellular matrix, proteins, collagens, elastin, fibrin and many more substances.

Exciting advances in the use of 3D applications are projected for the future.

The use of on-demand compounding of drugs for individualized patients could reduce the struggle with polypharmacy and compliance issues.

Several medications can be compounded together and manufactured with the use of a 3D printing.

Below is the first drug printed via 3D
