Abstract
Background: The application of 3D printing technology in the field of education is
mainly concentrated on the curriculum of primary and secondary schools and clinical PBL
teaching, while the application of 3D printing technology as a teaching auxiliary means in
higher medical education is less.
Methods: The objective of this work is to demonstrate the use of 3D printing teaching aids to
improve students' learning outcomes and guide more students to participate in learning 3D
printing or biological 3D printing research.
Based on 3D printing technology, data were collected through a network questionnaire to analyze
the demand of medical students in Colleges and Universities in this paper for 3D printing
teaching aids. Through the demand for 3D printing teaching aids, we have offered 3D courses
and encouraged students to actively participate in model design.
Results: Students can print some models using a 3D printer based on their knowledge and
personal interests. It is found that universities can use virtual 3D printing technology to make
up for the current shortage of 3D printers and high material consumption.
Conclusion: 3D printing technology can also help biomedical engineering students better
combine clinical knowledge to achieve better results. In addition, this study also analyzed the
limitations of 3D printing development in China.
