3D Printing in Medicine

Featured Article: Generative AI for medical 3D printing: a comparison of ChatGPT outputs to reference standard education

This work explores the role of natural language AI models in 3D Printing.

In particular, ChatGPT can improve inter-professional collaboration and 3D printing education for researchers; I do believe that it is the first article of its kind in the 3D printing space.

In addition, there are two other aspects of the work that will be valuable to the readership.

1. At this point, there is not much novel comparing ChatGPT versus a medical reference standard. However, for 3D printing the reference standard for medical education itself is thin. Thus we can use ChatGPT to see the ‘state of the art’ of the educational material for 3D printing. I believe this concept is valuable as the educational landscape continures to evolve, even with the inherent limitations of ChatGPT.

2. While I have read several articles (see the references to the paper) that talks about the fabrication/hallucinations that ChatGPT creates. However, if you are seeking the medical literature, please see this trick (see the Figure I uploaded) to simply ask ChatGPT to generate the Boolean search for PubMed. For us, this was quite successful as noted in the article.
