Recent developments in the field of 3D printing (3DP) have led scientists to experiment with, and assess the usability of, this technology within the medicinal field. This includes rapidly advancing areas, such as drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, tissue and organ models, prosthetics and replica fabrication, implants, and many more. In this review, we condense these findings, summarize the improvements that are needed for the use of 3DP in medicine, as well as plausible methods for creating medicines and medical devices in the future. Each application has great benefits, and these are also highlighted. However, a critical discussion will underline the limitations and challenges associated with 3DP. Such achievements correspond to developing and delivering patient-specific treatments.

3D 打印 (3DP) 领域的最新发展促使科学家们对该技术在医药领域进行试验并评估其可用性。这包括快速发展的领域，例如药物输送系统、组织工程、组织和器官模型、假肢和复制品制造、植入物等等。在这篇综述中，我们浓缩了这些发现，总结了在医学中使用 3DP 所需的改进，以及未来创造药物和医疗器械的可行方法。每个应用程序都有很大的好处，这些也很突出。然而，批判性讨论将强调与 3DP 相关的局限性和挑战。这些成就对应于开发和提供针对患者的治疗。
