“…There are tremendous advantages in the 3D printing space where reconstructed models using 3D rapid prototyping allow replication of sophisticated anatomical structures that can be used to facilitate anatomic study, surgical planning, and device development [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Additionally, 3D printing of 3D ultrasounds has also been recently shown to improve maternal-fetal attachment [32]. During this unprecedented time where 3D printing or additive manufacturing are producing unique 3D devices to mitigate COVID-19, [18] the ability to combine medical computed tomography (CT) with industrial metorology and CT is paramount.…”

Background: Powered air-purifying respirators are in short supply and can break down with extended use. Replacement parts can become hard to acquire. The aim of this study was to create an innovative quality improvement proof of concept using rapid prototyping. Methods: Here we report three cases of 3D printed powered air-purifying respirator parts. 3D printing was performed on all parts using fused deposition modeling with standard polylactic acid, in the same way that presurgical models would be created. Measurements using an electronic caliper as well as CT scans were used to compare an original part to its corresponding 3D printed parts for accuracy. Results: Electronic caliper and computed tomography measurements both showed accuracy consistant with current published norms. Conclusions: Ultimately, there will be questions surrounding intellectual property, effectiveness and potential longterm safety for these types of 3D printed parts. Future research should look into the addition of specific nanoparticles from the position of cost, efficacy, safety and improved accuracy.

“…In addition, a 3D printed model can be used to study the blood flow pattern in a healthy and abnormal fetal heart and evaluate the impact of morphological changes on the blood flow on the heart [ 54 ], to enable the execution of corresponding interventions. In a randomized case-control study, the printing of fetal models together with the explanation of relevant details to pregnant women was proven to reduce anxiety during pregnancy, enhance the maternal–fetal relationship, and improve awareness regarding prenatal checkups [ 55 ].…”

3D printing technology is a novel method of utilizing computer-generated three-dimensional models for drawing, assembling special bioinks, and manufacturing artificial organs and biomedical products. In recent years, it has evolved into a relatively mature therapeutic approach and has been widely used in clinical and basic research. In the field of obstetrics and gynecology, 3D printing technology has been applied for various purposes, including disease diagnosis, treatment, pathogenesis research, and medical education. Notably, researchers have gained significant application experience in common gynecological and obstetrical disorders, such as intrauterine adhesions, uterine tumors, congenital malformations, and fetal congenital abnormalities. This review aims to provide a systematical summary of current research on the application of 3D bioprinting technology in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

“…With advances in 3D ultrasound, the derived ultrasound data can be used for 3D printing of physical models of whole fetuses [ 57 ] and the fetal face [ 58 ]. A recent trial showed that the use of 3D-printed fetal facial models resulted in greater increases in maternal–fetal attachment in the third trimester than the use of ultrasonography only [ 58 ]. Whether this can be translated into better pregnancy outcomes needs further studies.…”

Over the years, there have been several improvements in ultrasound technologies including high-resolution ultrasonography, linear transducer, radiant flow, three-/four-dimensional (3D/4D) ultrasound, speckle tracking of the fetal heart, and artificial intelligence. The aims of this review are to evaluate the use of these advanced technologies in obstetrics in the midst of new guidelines on and new techniques of obstetric ultrasonography. In particular, whether these technologies can improve the diagnostic capability, functional analysis, workflow, and ergonomics of obstetric ultrasound examinations will be discussed.
