The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has affected over one hundred million people worldwide and has resulted in over two million deaths. In addition to the toll that coronavirus takes on the health of humans infected with the virus and the potential long term effects of infection, the repercussions of the pandemic on the economy as well as on the healthcare system have been enormous. The global supply of equipment necessary for dealing with the pandemic experienced extreme stress as healthcare systems around the world attempted to acquire personal protective equipment for their workers and medical devices for treating COVID-19. This review describes how 3D printing is currently being used in life saving surgeries such as heart and lung surgery and how 3D printing can address some of the worldwide shortage of personal protective equipment, by examining recent trends of the use of 3D printing and how these technologies can be applied during and after the pandemic. We review the use of 3D printed models for treating the long term effects of COVID-19. We then focus on methods for generating face shields and different types of respirators. We conclude with areas for future investigation and application of 3D printing technology.

3D printing has revolutionized the technological field with its rapid growth and broad popularity throughout the globe. It is one of the most sought out techniques being used because of the speed and development it offers in production, customization features, and numerous diverse opportunities it provides in every field. It has found applications in fields ranging from automobiles to the architecture industry. It has also seen tremendous growth in the medical field in recent years, but the growth hasn’t been significant as in other fields due to the limitations in the use of materials it can be integrated with. This review article provides the current scenario of 3d printing in medical fields, such as the bioprinting of tissues and the integration of nanotechnology in 3d-printing of biomaterials. Though the article focuses on tissue engineering, it also sheds light on the various 3d printing methods outlining how different forms of 3d printing techniques are contributing to the medical field. Various materials which have been used as biomaterials has also been discussed along with their usages and contribution in different 3d printing techniques and their respective advantages and disadvantages. Along with the industry trends and advantages of 3d printing in the medical field, this review article also discusses the limitations and potential threats of this technology.
