sible to many training environments in the future. The additive manufacturing process demonstrates strong potential for rapid prototyping in patient-specific scenarios for surgical planning and for caregiver education. Several minor modifications to the simulated muscle layer dissection and closure would enhance the model for use in a truly emulative training environment, although we aim to balance necessary features with added cost. Future studies will investigate the role of this cleft lip repair simulator as a tool for training and evaluation of resident physicians and its effect on surgical education and patient outcomes.
