3D printed models provided better orientation guide to medical students compared to MDT MRI presentations. This indicates that the 3D printed models might be easier to understand than the current gold standard MDT conferences. Therefore, 3D models may play an increasingly important role in providing guidance for orientation for less experienced individuals, such as surgical trainees.
