The technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing emerged in the late 1970s and has since undergone considerable development to find numerous applications in mechanical engineering, industrial design, and biomedicine. In biomedical science, several studies have initially found that 3D printing technology can play an important role in the treatment of diseases in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. For example, 3D printing technology has been applied to create detailed anatomical models of disease organs for preoperative personalized surgical strategies, surgical simulation, intraoperative navigation, medical training, and patient education. Moreover, cancer models have been created using 3D printing technology for the research and selection of chemotherapy drugs. With the aim to clarify the development and application of 3D printing technology in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, we introduce seven common types of 3D printing technology and review the status of research and application of 3D printing technology in the field of hepatopancreatobiliary surgery.
三维（3D）打印技术始于 20 世纪 70 年代末，此后经历了长足的发展，在机械工程、工业设计和生物医学领域得到了广泛应用。在生物医学科学中，已有多项研究初步发现 3D 打印技术在肝胆胰外科疾病的治疗中能发挥重要作用。例如，3D 打印技术已被应用于创建疾病器官的详细解剖模型，以制定术前个体化手术策略、进行手术模拟、术中导航、医学培训和患者教育。此外，还利用 3D 打印技术创建癌症模型，以研究和选择化疗药物。为了阐明 3D 打印技术在肝胆胰外科中的发展和应用，我们介绍了七种常见的 3D 打印技术，并回顾了 3D 打印技术在肝胆胰外科领域的研究和应用现状。
