In recent years, technologies related to 3D surface measurement and 3D printer are spreading rapidly. The use of these technologies is no exception in geotechnical engineering, and many researches have been conducted to understand the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of geomaterials such as cracked and porous media. With the expectation that researchers and engineers involved in geotechnical engineering will have more opportunities to use 3D printer in the future, we review the latest researches on the application of 3D printer to geotechnical engineering.
