Objectives. 3D printing has become a mainstream manufacturing technology and can provide printing with different materials such as plastics, resins, powders, and other polymers. The goal of this review is to observe most popular additive manufacturing techniques and choose most suitable techniques for medical orthopedic purposes. Methods. In this review is compiled various publications and reviews about 3D printing techniques to make a choice and decisions about most suitable technique for medical orthopedic purposes. Results. 3D printing technology is highly grown in last years and has significantly improved all printing parameters. Most suitable technology to produce medical part and structures is SLA and FDM techniques. Significance. Right now, 3D printing has a significant place in manufacturing industries and especially in medicine, where dental and orthopedic parts is needed to be produced in accordance with each person demands. Although, existing techniques is complex and not perfect and may be improved and upgraded in the future to provide best experience of the 3D printing.
