Abstract

In the last two decades, additive manufacturing (AM) has made significant progress towards the fabrication of biomaterials and tissue-engineering constructs. One direction of research is focused on the development of mechanically stable implants with patient-specific sizes/shapes and another direction has been to fabricate tissue-engineered scaffolds with designed porous architecture to facilitate vascularization. Among AM techniques, three dimensional powder printing (3DPP) is suitable for the fabrication of bone related prosthetic devices, while three dimensional plotting (3DPL) is based on the extrusion of biopolymers to create artificial tissues. The central theme of this chapter is to discuss the critical roles played by the binder and powder properties together with the interplay among processing parameters in the context of the physics of binder-material interaction for the fabrication of implants with predefined architecture and structural complexity. Summarising, this chapter encompasses the process and the underlying governing parameters of low temperature additive manufacturing methods.
