3D printing is being increasingly adopted in radiation oncology for printing highly conformal medical devices for treatment. Optical surface reconstruction technologies have been shown to be useful for 3D printing applications due to their higher spatial resolution, non‐ionising radiation imaging and will likely supplement existing radiographic imaging techniques in the future.
