and reconstructive surgery. However, conventional modalities, including three-dimensional
(3D) reconstructions, are limited by their representation on 2D workstations. 3D printing, also
known as rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing, was once the province of industry to
fabricate models from a computer-aided design (CAD) in a layer-by-layer manner. The early
adopters in clinical practice have embraced the medical imaging-guided 3D-printed …
