Aims and scope
3D Printing in Medicine publishes 3D printing innovation that impact medicine. Authors can communicate and share Standard Tessellation Language (STL) and related files via the journal. In addition to publishing techniques and trials that will advance medicine with 3D printing, the journal covers "how to" papers to provide a forum for translating applied imaging science.
Call for Papers: Application of Digital 3D Models in Medicine – Utilization of Surface Mesh Files for Digital Display, AR/VR and Virtual Surgery
Guest Editors:
Reena Maria Ghosh, MD, Boston Children’s Hospital, United States of America
Submission Status: Open until 1 March 2025
Call for papers: Cloud-based medical image segmentation for 3D printing in medicine: accuracy, speed, and scalability
3D Printing in Medicine is calling for submissions to our Collection on "Cloud-based medical image segmentation for 3D printing in medicine: accuracy, speed, and scalability". With this topical collection our aim is to help surgeons improve patient outcomes, and assisting them in pre-operative planning, intraoperative visualization, surgical training and patient communications.

Featured Review: Quality assurance of 3D-printed patient specific anatomical models: a systematic review
The responsible use of 3D-printing in medicine includes a context-based quality assurance. Considerable literature has been published in this field, yet the quality of assessment varies widely. The limited discriminatory power of some assessment methods challenges the comparison of results. The total error for patient specific anatomical models comprises relevant partial errors of the production process: segmentation error (SegE), digital editing error (DEE), printing error (PrE).
The present review provides an overview to improve the general understanding of the process specific errors, quantitative analysis, and standardized terminology.
