The three-dimensional printing has been used since very long ago in the field of medicine as well as in dentistry. The evolution of 3-dimensional imaging and modelling in dentistry is progressing towards a more efficient and cost-effective workflow using state-of-the-art technology. The practicability of this technique is expanding in several dental fields such as prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthesis, and production of surgical guides or physical models in dental implant treatment. The key of success in this technique depends on the usage of various materials such as, metal, resin, plastic etc. which is most commonly used in dentistry. With introduction of this recent advanced technology, it is used in various surgical procedures such as ridge augmentation, sinus lift and guided implant surgery, implant fixtures, preparation of customized scaffold with or without stem cell therapy, education models as well as in drug delivery technology. The 3-dimensional printing technology is becoming more economical technique and able to produce replica of dental models with a high resolution and accuracy.

Background: The emerging Three-dimensional (3D) modelling improves intraoperative visualization, management, and analysis of available imaging data, the 3D form of available image, provides the surgeon with a better comprehension of the geometry, size, and exact relationship between target and normal tissue. The role of 3D modelling in orthopedic pelvic and hip surgical planning is brought to focus.Methods: The Medline database was searched using the keywords 3D printing, three dimensional printing, 3 dimensional printing and the results were screened for pelvis and hip surgery related full text articles. The duplicates and non-related articles were removed.Results: The articles were used to build a review with focus on Acetabulum, Pelvis, Hip and sacrum. We found that the role of 3D printing is non-negligible. The advances made with the help of 3D printing are wonderful and promising. The use of 3D saw its application in many fields. But the orthopedic surgery to our observance has benefitted the most till now.Conclusions: With the advances in the technology it is needed to make the 3D modelling easier, quicker, accurate, cost effective and reliable to help implement its deeper use in orthopedics. The authors believe that the 3D printing is an enormous help for the orthopedic surgeons which will only lead to positive outcomes.

Objective: To determine the current applications of 3-dimensional (3D) printing in the care of patients with cleft lip and palate. We also reviewed 3D printing limitations, financial analysis, and future implications. Design: Retrospective systematic review. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines were used by 3 independent reviewers. Articles were identified from Cochrane library, Ovid Medline, and Embase. Search terms included 3D printing, 3 dimensional printing, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, cleft lip, and cleft palate. Exclusion criteria included articles not in English, animal studies, reviews without original data, oral presentations, abstracts, opinion pieces, and articles without relevance to 3D printing or cleft lip and palate. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome measure was the purpose of 3D printing in the care of patients with cleft lip and palate. Secondary outcome measures were cost analysis and clinical outcomes. Results: Eight-four articles were identified, and 39 met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eleven studies used 3D printing models for nasoalveolar molding. Patient-specific implants were developed via 3D printing in 6 articles. Surgical planning was conducted via 3D printing in 8 studies. Eight articles utilized 3D printing for anatomic models/educational purposes. 3-Dimensional printed models were used for surgical simulation/training in 6 articles. Bioprinting was utilized in 4 studies. Secondary outcome of cost was addressed in 8 articles. Conclusion: 3-Dimensional printing for the care of patients with cleft lip and palate has several applications. Potential advantages of utilizing this technology are demonstrated; however, literature is largely descriptive in nature with few clinical outcome measures. Future direction should be aimed at standardized reporting to include clinical outcomes, cost, material, printing method, and results.

The types of automotive components today vary greatly. The presence of more components types make it difficult to find suitable automotive components. 3D Printing Machine is a new breakthrough to overcome these problems. This is based on the working concept of a 3-dimensional printing machine that make components done by the product design process and then print it through a 3-dimensional printing machine. This concept is further developed in the form of feasibility test of several aspects which are able to assess the results of the component products in order to be marketed. The purpose of this research is to see the feasibility of 3-dimensional printing machine products in terms of component shapes, component functions, terms of component dimensions and in the terms of similarity to the original product. The research methodology used in this research is descriptive quantitative comparative qualitative. The results of this study are, 1) The 3-dimensional product design has a similarity of 50%, but it is still lacking for the amount of fillet (upper angular curvature of the design). Meanwhile, for the size and shape in general have been made in accordance with the original product. 2) Forms that can be made from 3-dimensional printing still look less ergonomic. 4) The performance or function of the 3-dimensional printing component is able to match its function. 5) The weight of the 3-dimensional priting component is 47.19% heavier than the original component. 6) The dimensions of the components of 3-dimensional printing results on average for flat areas have a deviation of about 5.39% and for the profile field it reaches 35.29%.
