Three-dimensional (3D) printing and reverse engineering are usually superior to traditional teachnologies due to patient-tailored approach, scalability, and lower costs. This paper aims at the presentation of the own concept of the use of 3D medical images and reverse engineering for breast reconstruction for education and everyday clinical practice purposes. Presented concept of 3D breast reconstruction constitutes a relatively novel solution, and its further development may lead to the novel family of of patient-tailored solutions and optimized 3D-based technology seful in everyday clinical practice and online e-learning system.
