Summary
Based on the available research, it is difficult to pinpoint one specific 3D printing technology as the "latest" as the field is constantly evolving and new technologies are being developed. However, some advancements in 3D printing technology have been discussed in the literature reviewed. One company, BMF, has developed a Projection Micro Stereolighography (PµSL) technology, which is touted as having high resolution and accuracy. Their latest 3D printer, the microArch S240, utilizes this technology to create microscale parts with high precision. However, it is unclear from the summary how widely available or adopted this technology is. In terms of the medical field, research has shown that medical students are aware of 3D printing and believe it can be useful for creating anatomical models. However, they still value tangible learning experiences with human cadavers, suggesting that 3D printing may not completely replace traditional methods. The study also highlights the need for medical education to incorporate more information about 3D printing technology to prepare future clinicians for its potential applications. Finally, a paper discusses the need to consider the implications of 3D printing technology as it continues to develop and become more widespread. While the focus of the paper is on the potential for mass replicating technology to disrupt society, it does underscore the importance of staying informed about new advancements in 3D printing technology. Overall, while it is difficult to identify one specific "latest" 3D printing technology, the available research suggests that the field is continuing to advance and new technologies are emerging with potential applications in various industries, including medicine and manufacturing. It is important for individuals in these industries to stay informed and prepared for these advancements.

Researchers are turning towards 3D printing technology for glass fabrication as traditional manufacturing processes require complex high-temperature melting and casting, which presents a great challenge to the fabrication of arbitrarily complex glass devices. The emergence of 3D printing technology provides a good solution. A paper has reviewed recent advances in glass 3D printing, describing the history and development of related technologies while listing popular applications of 3D printing for glass preparation. The review has compared the advantages and disadvantages of various processing methods, summarised the problems encountered in the process of technology application, and proposes corresponding solutions to select the most appropriate preparation method in practical applications. The application of additive manufacturing in glass fabrication is in its infancy but has great potential. The methods for glass preparation with 3D printing technology are expected to achieve both high-speed and high-precision fabrication.

A survey of 430 students from the Medical University of Silesia in Poland found that medical students have knowledge of 3D printing and are keen to deepen their understanding. They believe that 3D printing provides opportunities in medicine and could be useful for creating anatomical models. However, they are not convinced that human cadavers should be abandoned entirely in anatomy classes, even though they appreciate the value of a more tangible learning experience. While many students already have knowledge of 3D printing through the internet, the results suggest that medical training should expand course curriculum to include information regarding 3D printing technology in medicine. This would allow students to study the current applications of 3D printing and know how to use those applications in their own clinical practice later. Students had no ethical doubts about the use of 3D printing in any form. This study is the first of its kind to examine the knowledge of additive technology in medicine among medical students.

The Department of Computers and Informatics at TU Kosice offers students the opportunity to study virtual reality technologies and computer graphics. This is a new subject which focuses on theoretical knowledge and practical experiences in 3D computer graphics, virtual reality technologies, and computer games. Students work in a laboratory with the latest virtual reality technologies including Microsoft Hololens, 3D scanning, and 3D printing. They also create content such as applications or virtual models and scenes. The department has also developed a new technology known as CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment). The ultimate goal of the department is to use these technologies for handicapped people education. The paper focuses on the experiences of virtual reality in education as both a subject of study and a tool for studying. Overall, the department is dedicated to keeping pace with advances in technology in order to provide its students with a practical education that can be applied in the field.

The potential challenges and opportunities arising from the development and proliferation of 3D printing technology are discussed in this paper. The focus is on how society would cope if 3D printing advanced to a stage where it became possible to replicate any commodity or currency form accurately and cheaply. The idea of replicating technology has a long intellectual history, with past writers and thinkers considering the effects that might result from the potential emergence of mass 3D printing capabilities. The paper examines George O. Smith’s Venus Equilateral series (1942-1945) and his treatment of the 3D printing phenomenon, as well as his attempts to incorporate the idea of mass replicating technology into a wider socio-economic framework. The paper ultimately concludes that while Smith’s technological portrayal may seem outdated, his insights on the potential social ruptures and cultural transformations that could result from mass replicating technology remain relevant today. Overall, the paper highlights the need to consider the implications of 3D printing technology and other forms of replicating technology as they continue to develop and become more widespread.

A review article in the Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy explores emerging technologies that could drive future innovations in brachytherapy treatments for cancer. The article examines four topics that could have an impact in the future: intensity modulated brachytherapy (IMBT), 3D printing, innovations in treatment planning involving catheter placement and dwell times, and deep learning. IMBT utilises high-density shielding designs to achieve high-quality plans, while 3D printing allows for the customisation of applicators and treatment plans. Innovations in treatment planning involve new modelling approaches, solution algorithms, and advanced technologies. Machine learning technique deep learning could be used to automate all aspects of brachytherapy workflow. Although not all of these innovations are expected to reach the clinic, the review provides insight into what the future of brachytherapy may hold. The authors suggest that these technologies, once they have been translated into pilot testing and sensibly phased clinical trials, could ultimately make a positive difference for cancer patients.
