Abstract
Medical applications for 3D printin

g are expanding rapidly and are

expected to revolutionize health

care. The application of 3D printing in medicine

and healthcare

can provide many bene

fits, including

the customization and personalization of medical products, drugs, and equipment; cost

-

effectiveness;

increased productivity; the democratization of design and manufacturing; and enhanced collaboration.

Normally, one have to either draw an o

bject in a CAD program

, dow

n

load or optimize a digital model

that is generated by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging (US)

, 3D scanning

,

or

computer tomography (CT) to a 3D printing process. Although such a technology could be regarded as

an engineering tool, a broader aspect of the technology and its effects on motivation for the students in

particular for medical applicat

ion has not been reviewed previously

. One would question the level of

integrating such a device into engineering stude

nt curriculum, and how would that gain the level of

students’ knowledge to make faster prototypes and examine ideas in a faster pace.

In this paper, we are in particular elaborating different cases for applications using such a technology,

and discuss the

barriers and controversies of 3D printing and its related processes in light of two

medical applications in addition to its educational effects. We present a workflow that can be

considered for processing any medical applications with 3D printing. Furthe

rmore, we elaborate the

experiences with our students on how they achieved their goal through a rather creative process by

using 3D printers for making medical device prototypes
