With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, more and more researches have focused on its application in the region of intervertebral fusion materials; the prospects are worth looking forward to. This article reviews the researches about 3D printing technology in spinal implants, and summarizes the materials and printing technology applied in the field of spinal interbody fusion, and the shortcomings in the current research and application. With the rapid development of 3D printing technology and new materials, more and more 3D printing spinal interbodies will be developed and used clinically.
