在过去几年中，3D打印在研究和教学中的应用显着增长，并对科学实践产生了重大影响。尽管随着打印机价格的不断下降，3D打印在研究实验室中的应用越来越多，但由于缺乏针对科学界的基本参考材料，3D打印在研究实验室中的准入门槛仍然很高。在本专题中，我们介绍了3D打印作为研究实验室使用的工具，弥合了科学家与3D打印技术之间的差距。这不是另一个3D打印评论，而是一个指南，将帮助科学家认识到3D打印的有用性，并在他们的第一台3D打印机上做出明智的购买决定。
The use of 3D printing in research and teaching has significantly grown in the past years and has had a major impact on scientific practices. Despite the growing adoption driven by ever decreasing printer prices, the barrier to entry for 3D printing in research laboratories is still high due to the lack of basic reference material targeted at the scientific community. In this Feature, we introduce 3D printing as a tool for use in research laboratories, bridging the gap between scientists and 3D printing technology. This is not another 3D printing review but rather a guide which will help scientists to recognize the usefulness of 3D printing and to make an informed buying decision on their first 3D printer.
