This series aims to highlight original research by students and trainees who are actively engaged in 3D printing science.

This collection of articles has been sponsored by Stratasys, and the submitted manuscripts have undergone the journal’s standard peer review process.

Featured article: 3D printing in medicine of congenital heart diseases

Congenital heart diseases causing significant hemodynamic and functional consequences require surgical repair. Understanding of the precise surgical anatomy is often challenging and can be inadequate or wrong. Modern high resolution imaging techniques and 3D printing technology allow 3D printing of the replicas of the patient’s heart for precise understanding of the complex anatomy, hands-on simulation of surgical and interventional procedures, and morphology teaching of the medical professionals and patients.
