Three-dimensional printing (3DP) builds three-dimensional structures and components layer by layer. It has widespread use in many fields, including cardiology, plastic surgery, and urology, because of its adaptability, convenience, and low cost. Pediatrics has yet to widely adopt 3DP. Its capability to create high-fidelity products has proved to be game-changing in the production of patient-specific models (e.g., congenital heart disease models) and in surgical reconstruction of the airway. Speakers will discuss other uses of 3DP, as well as augmented and virtual reality (VR) technology for education and surgical planning. VR technology has been used to train surgeons and hone their skills, especially for low-volume procedures. Speakers will discuss the innovative ways VR technology is being used in pediatric critical care settings.
