The analyzed 3D printing protocol may be applied with any FFF-PLA 3D printer, it is safe and does not significantly alter the morphology of biomodels. These results indicate that 3D printing is associated with significant advantages for health centers as it increases their autonomy, allowing them to easily produce 3D biomodels that can be used for the treatment of fractures.
