Annals of 3D Printed Medicine

Annals of 3D Printed Medicine examines the fast moving 3D printing innovation in the inter-disciplinary medical and biomedical research area.

Also widely known by other terms such as additive manufacturing (AM) or rapid prototyping (RP), 3D printing engineering offers in Health and Medical Sciences - as an efficient and customizable manufacturing option - a great opportunity to reduce costs, time, trauma and healing periods:

for healthcare professionals and drug and medical device companies to develop tailor-made (and often urgent) new solutions, services and concrete applications,

for patients making care affordable, accessible and personalized,

with the support of policies and under the pressure of growing expectations and demands.

By giving high priority review and early publication to international peer-reviewed research and applications original works, Annals of 3D Printed Medicine is the home to collect innovative use of 3D-printing related technologies in the following medical and clinical situations: preoperative planning, instrumentalization and implantology, state modelling, medical education, storage, patient education, medico-legal, bioprinting, therapeutics.
