The success of an implant depends on the type of biomaterial used for its
fabrication. An ideal implant material should be biocompatible, inert,
mechanically durable, and easily moldable. The ability to build patient specific
implants incorporated with bioactive drugs, cells, and proteins has made 3D
printing technology revolutionary in medical and pharmaceutical fields. A vast
variety of biomaterials are currently being used in medical 3D printing,
including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. With continuous research
and progress in biomaterials used in 3D printing, there has been a rapid growth
in applications of 3D printing in manufacturing customized implants, prostheses,
drug delivery devices, and 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative
medicine. The current review focuses on the novel biomaterials used in variety of
3D printing technologies for clinical applications. Most common types of medical
3D printing technologies, including fused deposition modeling, extrusion based
bioprinting, inkjet, and polyjet printing techniques, their clinical
applications, different types of biomaterials currently used by researchers, and
key limitations are discussed in detail.
