  Three dimensional (3D) printing has come a long way since Charles Hall invented it in 1980 [1]. Over the past few years with cumulative improvements in the resolution, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and speed of this highly customizable manufacturing process, it has become the future of medical education. Depending on the area of interest, these printed models demonstrate anatomical and structural fidelity consistent with the patient’s actual disease process [2,3].

  This fidelity has allowed learners to view and understand gross pathology and structural relationships prior to surgical intervention. An improved understanding and visualization has in turn allowed surgical teams to plan interventions more accurately and guide margins of resection, model appropriate implant dimensions and sometimes create the implant itself using 3D printing technology [3,4].
