Three-dimensional (3D) printing has recently erupted into the medical arena due to decreased costs and increased availability of printers and software tools. Due to lack of detailed information in the medical literature on the methods for 3D printing, we have reviewed the medical and engineering literature on the various methods for 3D printing and compiled them into a practical "how to" format, thereby enabling the novice to start 3D printing with very limited funds. We describe (1) background knowledge, (2) imaging parameters, (3) software, (4) hardware, (5) post-processing, and (6) financial aspects required to cost-effectively reproduce a patient's disease ex vivo so that the patient, engineer and surgeon may hold the anatomy and associated pathology in their hands.
由于打印机和软件工具成本降低且可用性提高，三维（3D）打印最近已闯入医学领域。鉴于医学文献中缺乏关于3D打印方法的详细信息，我们查阅了医学和工程文献中有关各种3D打印方法的内容，并将其整理成实用的“操作指南”形式，从而使新手能够用非常有限的资金开始3D打印。我们描述了（1）背景知识、（2）成像参数、（3）软件、（4）硬件、（5）后处理以及（6）以具有成本效益的方式在体外重现患者疾病所需的财务方面的内容，以便患者、工程师和外科医生能够亲手触摸到解剖结构及相关病变。
