3D printing is gaining prominence in the healthcare industry due to its ability to create unique products tailored to specific patient anatomy. This technology uses additive deposition or fusion of material, allowing for creative freedom. Large language models (LLM) and generative AI are used in healthcare to produce coherent, constructive, and cogent output. ChatGPT and GPT-4 from OpenAI improve human interactions and close communication gaps in the medical field. These models are used for data analysis, report creation, clinical decision assistance, educational support, patient communication, and clinical decision making.
