3D printed kidney models for robot-assisted surgery
This trial is testing if a 3D printed model of your kidney helps surgeons better plan and perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing only part of the kidney) for kidney tumors.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06224816Recruiting
Custom 3D-printed nasal masks for premature babies on breathing support
This trial tests whether custom 3D-printed nasal masks work better for premature babies who need non-invasive breathing support. The masks are made to fit each baby's face, which might be more comfortable and effective.

Training with a 3D-printed port-a-catheter model
This trial tests a training course using a 3D-printed model of a port-a-catheter (a small device placed under the skin for giving medicine). It aims to help you learn how to care for your port-a-catheter.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT07591324Recruiting
3D-Printed vs. Traditional Space Holders for Kids' Teeth
This study compares two types of dental devices that hold space in a child's mouth after baby molars fall out early. The research tests whether a newer 3D-printed version works as well as or better than the traditional wire-based device.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for 3d printing?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 77 recruiting 3d printing studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a 3d printing trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a 3d printing trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
