Abstract

Tissue engineering is a rapidly expanding multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field exploiting biomaterials, living cells, and biomolecular signals to produce constructs to restore, maintain, or enhance the function of tissues or organs. Additive manufacturing, with a high degree of freedom either for the design of scaffolds (pore size, pore geometry, orientation, interconnectivity, etc.) or for its fabrication, obtains significant attentions in the field of tissue engineering. This book chapter introduces the concept of tissue engineering and main tissue engineering strategies. It discusses the role and main requirements of scaffolds as well as reviewing the main conventional and additive manufacturing techniques used to produce scaffolds for tissue engineering.
