Abstract: Objective To review literatures about 3D printing model applied in clinical teaching based on the science mapping, so as to understand the literature characteristics, hotspots and progress to provide references for future research. Methods The relevant literatures were retrieved from the core collection of Web of Science and CNKI, Wangfang and VIPs and the science mapping was drawn by CiteSpace software and the analysis function of the CNKI web page. Results A total of 617 articles were reviewed, in which 395 were published in English and 302 in Chinese. The annual publication volume showed a gradual increasing in quantity. The journals with the highest volume of domestic and foreign journals were respectively China Continuing Medical Education and Chinese Medical Education Technology. In recent years, researches about 3D printing were focused on anatomy education, surgical simulation and orthopedic teaching. Conclusions The 3D printing model applied in clinical teaching had gradually attracted the attention of clinicians. However, the coverage of relevant research in China was limited. There are still some problems and limitations in the application of 3D printing model in clinical teaching.
