3D printing technology represents an important advancement in medical applications. 3D printed models are recently being used for the production of anatomical and surgical models, surgical guides, functional tissues and organs as well as organ-on-a-chip platforms and custom-made pharmaceutics that allowed the development of new frontiers in medical research and surgical practice. The technology provides advantages to surgeons to perform pre-op planning to analyze the defect areas and malignancies in detail, which facilitates the prediction of the technical difficulties that can be encountered during surgery. 3D printed models are also used to improve the learning experience in medical education. The development of case specific implants for surgery, prosthetics, and orthotics is also possible with 3D printing technology. These products can be produced with personalized size, structure, and features. This chapter will review the potential and current applications of 3D printing technology in shoulder arthroplasty and in the development of patient-specific surgical guides and anatomical models for shoulder surgery.
