Abstract

Additive manufacturing has emerged as an advanced technology for the precise 3D construction of complex tissue engineering products. Different platforms such as laser-assisted printing, extrusion printing, and inkjet printing have been developed to achieve the desired printability, cytocompatibility, and mechanical properties for complex applications. This chapter reviewed and summarized the recent progress on different printing technologies, with fundamental mechanisms, characteristics, advantages, and limitations. Each printing technology is dependent on particular ink for the specific types of application, the chapter analyzed the challenges of different types of biomaterial inks used in 3D printing. Finally, we have also recited the recent advances and applications of 3D printing technology in different tissue engineering products.
