Three-dimensional printing is a still-emerging technology with high impact for the medical community, particularly in the development of tissues for the clinic. Many types of printers are under development, including extrusion, droplet, melt, and light-curing technologies. Herein we discuss the various types of 3D printers and their strengths and weaknesses concerning tissue engineering. Despite the advantages of 3D printing, challenges remain in the development of large, clinically relevant tissues. Advancements in bioink development, printer technology, tissue vascularization, and cellular sourcing/expansion are discussed, alongside future opportunities for the field. Trends regarding in situ printing, personalized medicine, and whole organ development are highlighted.

Purpose: To create tridimensional (3D) anatomical models of diaphyseal fractures in dogs (3D AMDFD) and to evaluate the models from their radiographs.
Methods: The study consisted of six stages: preparation of femur from a healthy dog cadaver; digitalization of the bone through a 3D scanner and creation of the base model; creation of a 3D AMDFD based on the image of the base model, 3D modeling carried out to reproduce five different types of diaphyseal fractures; printing the models produced on a 3D printer with a thermoplastic material; insertion of neodymium magnets in the fracture line to allow the assembly and disassembly of the parts; and radiography of 3D AMDFD in lateromedial and craniocaudal positions.
Results: The base model and 3D AMDFD had high precision in the replication of bone structures, like the bone in natura.
