Researchers are developing 3D-printed prosthetic hands specifically designed for children.

The ability of 3D printing to make precisely shaped objects in a wide range of materials has led to, for example, custom replacement joints and custom-dosage, multidrug pills.

Scientists are developing 4D printing, which creates objects that can change shape over time.

The field is moving quickly toward personalized treatment plans that are closely adapted to each patient’s unique needs and preferences, says Anne Schmitz and Daniel Freedman .

But major challenges and opportunities remain, they say.

The lack of standardized workflows and trained personnel can limit the widespread adoption of 3D printing in clinical settings.
