Medical three-dimensional (3D) printing, the fabrication of handheld models from medical images, has the potential to become an integral part of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (Oto-HNS) with broad impact across its subspecialties. We review the basic principles of this technology and provide a comprehensive summary of reported clinical applications in the field. ⋯ As technology and training standards evolve and as healthcare moves toward personalized medicine, 3D printing is emerging as a key technology in patient care in Oto-HNS. Treating physicians and surgeons who wish to stay abreast of these developments will benefit from a fundamental understanding of the principles and applications of this technology.
