About this book
Subsequent chapters highlight some of the “maker” communities' efforts that made a difference in their part of North America. Each contribution describes the unique experiences, challenges, and successes.
While this book is written and edited mostly from a medical perspective, additional input from medical engineers, administrators, attorneys, and public safety officials enables a broad perspective to highlight some of the ingenuity from the North American 3D printing community who responded to the initial case volumes of COVID-19.

About the editor
Dr. Rybicki developed and moderated the world’s first radiology-based society-CME educational program in medical 3D printing. This and related programs managed by Dr. Rybicki have provided the opportunity for the first 1,200 radiologists and imaging scientists to obtain radiology-based CME for live software training in the field of 3D printing. He is Editor-in-Chief of the BMC peer-review journal 3D Printing in Medicine that launched in the fourth quarter of 2015. He co-edited with Dr. Gerald T. Grant a book 3D Printing in Medicine: A Practical Guide for Medical Professionals, published in October 2017.
In the Fall of 2016, after founding the organization one year earlier, Dr. Rybicki was named the first Chairperson of the RSNA Special Interest Group (SIG) on 3D Printing, initiating a new chapter for the field of medical modeling. The 400 members have supported Dr. Rybicki when, in September 2018, as part of an ACR team he co-led the successful AMA/ CPT application for category III billing codes for anatomic modeling (active July 1, 2019). He has also mentored the current SIG leadership team in the development of society guidelines and position statements that will steward 3D printing into the healthcare sector.
