The technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing is transforming modern living. 3D printing has been a technical breakthrough because it can swiftly and precisely construct intricate and customized medical items. The study examines the pros and cons of technology as well as the possibilities of 3D printers for medical applications. The study includes bibliometric analysis based on previously published studies as well as a thorough examination of the literature. The paper examines both the benefits and drawbacks of 3D printing as it relates to medical devices. The numerous techniques and applications that can be applied, including stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, and digital light processing, are covered in the article. The outcomes of the systematic literature review demonstrate the possibilities for 3D-printed medical equipment in the fields of surgery, personal gadgets, and eco-friendly based materials. However, because of the delicate nature and intricacy of the materials, combining biodegradable polymers with biological components as a 3D printing material can be an eco-friendly alternative.
