Similar to a picture produced by a camera, 3D printed products have resolution. The resolution of the product indicates how detailed the result is. The higher the resolution, the more detailed the result. 3D printed objects so far can have a precision of less than 0.01 mm and 0.02 mm in horizontal and vertical direction, respectively (Markert, Weber, & Lueth, 2007). Producing an artificial organ is also another method by which patient with disease can be treated more accurately and efficiently. The structural changes on the organs which are the focus can be found with the resolution offered by 3D printing technology. Another function of the 3D printing is producing printed organs which helps surgeons in preparing the surgery beforehand. Similar method has actually been implemented and reduce the risk of failure in surgery since the preparation for the real surgery can be done in F
