| description | 3D printing technologies is showing a great potential in many fields. A rapidly growing one is the educational field. The ability to realize structures and models with low cost, low effort and relatively fast manner are examples of this technology strengths. In this work, we report a bibliometric analysis of the literature published between 2004 and 2023 related to the use of 3D printing technology in education. WebofScience library was utilized to extract the related literature. This paper offers a comprehensive look at how 3D printing is used in education, highlighting its evolution and emerging trends. It emphasizes the need for a bibliometric review due to the growing volume of related research. The findings pinpoint recent advancements, identify research gaps, and suggest future avenues for exploration, including broader research collaborations and innovative teaching methods. Results from this review indicate an increase in publication in the years between 2020 and 2023. Moreover, the number of publications from the USA was the highest among other countries included in this survey. Publications in the medical field predominant other topics as well as Medical focused journals. Main key words use by authors were such as “3D printing”, “Hands-on learning/manipulatives” and “Medical education”. |
