Tomorrow's World: 3D Printing in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

3D printing, a process of the production of a three-dimensional object from a digital file, has been hailed as the start of the third industrial revolution. A complex process also known as additive manufacturing has come to encompass various techniques such as stereolithography, fuse deposition modelling and selective laser sintering to name a few. From aerospace technology to clothing to firearms this exciting technology is being developed in most fields but how can this be applied to Oral and Maxillofacial surgery (OMFS)?
