description <b>Introduction</b>: 3D printing technology has gained considerable interest in the domain of orbital illnesses owing to its capacity to transform diagnosis, surgery planning, and treatment. This systematic review seeks to deliver a thorough examination of the contemporary applications of 3D printing in the treatment of ocular problems, encompassing tumors, injuries, and congenital defects. This systematic review of recent studies has examined the application of patient-specific 3D-printed models for preoperative planning, personalized implants, and prosthetics. <b>Methods</b>: This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. The PICOS is “What are the current advances and applications of 3D printing for the management of orbital pathology?” The databases analyzed for the research phase are MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), ClinicalTrials.gov, ScienceDirect, Scopus, CINAHL, and Web of Science. <b>Results</b>: Out of 314 studies found in the literature, only 12 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. From the included studies, it is evident that 3D printing can be a useful technology for the management of trauma and oncological pathologies of the orbital region. <b>Discussion</b>: 3D printing proves to be very useful mainly for the purpose of improving the preoperative planning of a surgical procedure, allowing for better preparation by the surgical team and a reduction in operative time and complications. <b>Conclusions</b>: 3D printing has proven to be an outstanding tool in the management of orbit pathology. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of such technology, the former far outweigh the latter.
