Abstract

Stem cell research has revolutionized our understanding of human development and regenerative medicine over the past decades [1]. These remarkable cells, characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types, hold immense potential for treating previously incurable diseases and understanding developmental processes at the molecular level [2,3]. The field has witnessed remarkable progress since the first isolation of human embryonic stem cells in 1998, followed by the groundbreaking discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells in 2006 [4,5].

A new and incredibly promising technology is 3-Dimensional (3D) printing, which first emerged in the 1980s and has been continuously advancing since then. It is a distinct way of layer-by-layer material deposition that sets itself apart from other conventional modelling techniques through material molding and removal. Modelling by adding material, 3D printing can produce things with incredibly intricate geometries and even with previously unheard-of accuracy. It may be applied in a variety of fields, including aviation, the automobile industry, production, science, education, and medicine. Printing by adding material is a significant breakthrough for several writers in these latter domains of application. The spectrum of potential applications for 3D printing is enormous and highly promising, including modelling learning and training prototypes, producing tailored prostheses, and printing biological and functioning organs. In General, this article will focusing on the Major applications of 3D printers in education and medicine
