在最近的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，3D打印技术为卫生部门做出了许多贡献。由于对这些设备的需求显着增加，个人防护设备（PPE）、呼吸机、标本收集器、安全配件和隔离病房/隔离室等几种3D打印医疗设备在短时间内就被打印出来。该评论讨论了3D打印的一些贡献，这些贡献有助于在这一健康紧急情况下保护几条生命。通过列举在紧急情况下使用3D打印技术比其他传统方法带来的一些显著好处，该评论声称，在供应严重短缺和需求过剩的情况下，前者开辟了巨大的可能性。本综述承认个人、企业家、学者和公司所采取的协作方法，这些方法有助于在其他供应链中断时形成一个提供3D打印医疗/非医疗组件的全球网络。3D打印技术与全球卫生界的合作为未来带来了新的重大机遇。
3D-printing technology provided numerous contributions to the health sector during the recent Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Several of the 3D-printed medical devices like personal protection equipment (PPE), ventilators, specimen collectors, safety accessories, and isolation wards/ chambers were printed in a short time as demands for these were rising significantly. The review discusses some of these contributions of 3D-printing that helped to protect several lives during this health emergency. By enlisting some of the significant benefits of using the 3D-printing technique during an emergency over other conventional methods, this review claims that the former opens enormous possibilities in times of serious shortage of supply and exceeding demands. This review acknowledges the collaborative approaches adopted by individuals, entrepreneurs, academicians, and companies that helped in forming a global network for delivering 3D-printed medical/non-medical components, when other supply chains were disrupted. The collaboration of the 3D-printing technology with the global health community unfolds new and significant opportunities in the future.
