3D prints are used in a wide variety of areas, particularly useful in medicine. 3D prints can produce many body parts such as bone fragments, prostheses, etc., according to data and designs. In addition, 3D printing materials are increasingly cheaper synthetic resins, and 3D printers are more popular in the home or office rather than just in the lab.
