Three-dimensional printing is a manufacturing procedure in which objects are formed by fusing or depositing materials to create a 3D model. Different printers are used for 3D printing. Medical applications for 3D printing are expanding rapidly and are expected to revolutionize health care. 2D radiographic pictures are converted to computerized 3D prints creating anatomical and clinical structures. There are five steps to technically create a 3D model from image and these steps are image acquisition, segmentation, file optimization, choosing materials and printers and print and post processing of 3D medical model. We report the experience of the radiology service at Marrakech university hostpital using a low cost FDM printer. The results of different cases are discussed in this article.
