We are excited to announce that 3D Printing in Medicine has been approved for indexing in SCOPUS.
The journal would like to thank its authors, reviewers, editors, and readers for their continued support.
Aims and scope
3D Printing in Medicine publishes 3D printing innovation that impact medicine. Authors can communicate and share Standard Tessellation Language (STL) and related files via the journal. In addition to publishing techniques and trials that will advance medicine with 3D printing, the journal covers "how to" papers to provide a forum for translating applied imaging science.

Featured Research: Development and assessment of case-specific physical and augmented reality simulators for intracranial aneurysm clipping
The development of patient-specific simulators for intracranial aneurysm clipping enhances surgical training and preoperative planning. Physical simulators, comprising 3D-printed skulls and interchangeable, perfused silicone aneurysm models, accurately replicate patient anatomy with minimal dimensional deviation. Holographic simulators utilize real-time finite-element models to allow virtual clip application with minimal production costs. A validation study involving neurosurgical residents and specialists indicates that both simulators are effective for training and clip selection, with high scores of usability and usefulness.
The present study presents realistic, patient-specific simulation-based training for neurosurgical residents, and their potential applications in preoperative planning.
