Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies enable not only faster bioconstructs development but also on-demand and customized manufacturing, offering patients a personalized biomedical solution. This emerging technique has a great potential for fabricating bioscaffolds with complex architectures and geometries and specifically tailored for use in regenerative medicine. The next major innovation in this area will be the development of biocompatible and histiogenic 3D printing materials with bio-based printable polymers. This review will briefly discuss 3D printing techniques and their current limitations, with a focus on novel bio-based polymers as 3D printing feedstock for clinical medicine and tissue regeneration.
