Overview

Modern technologies are increasingly finding their place in medicine, rapidly establishing as invaluable assets. This is evident in 3D printing, which in a relatively short time, has become an integral part of numerous medical fields including ENT, Maxillofacial and Plastic surgery. Its expansion is substantially facilitated by the decrease in the acquisition costs of printers and used materials, including software availability. Another advantage is the increasing number of graduated biomedical engineers who assist doctors in preparing and printing their models. On June 17, 2023, the Czech Medical Society of J. E. Purkyně accepted the newly established „Czech Society for 3D Printing in Medicine“ as its organizational component. Its objective is to help the development of 3D printing in medicine, and to set standards of use and adherence. This article presents practical examples of the use of 3D printing in Otorhinolaryngology, Maxillofacial and Plastic surgery.
