Abstract: 3D printing is a technology developed on the basis of imaging science. CT and MRI have been established as data source imaging tools to create 3D models. In recent years, transthoracic and transesophageal three-dimensional echocardiography can obtain real-time three-dimensional data information of the heart and become the data source to obtain 3D printing models, and the application field is expanding. 3D printing technology based on 3D echocardiography data source has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of CHD. This paper reviews the clinical application and advance of 3D printing technology in CHD.

Key words: three-dimensional ultrasound, 3D printing, congenital heart disease
