Use and regulation of patient-specific three-dimensional printing in medicine: a survey of physician end-users
The integration of 3D printing technologies into clinical practice will continue to grow. This paper presents the largest survey of physicians practicing 3D printing to date. Given the underrepresentation of this key demographic within regulatory bodies, the opinions and positions of physician respondents reported here should be considered in the development and application of new guidelines and regulations in the field.
