Current 3 Dimensional Printing Technologies Used in Scaffold Design in Tissue Engineering
Abstract
In this study, current 3 dimensional printing technologies have been critically reviewed and most suitable printer technologies for tissue scaffold building used in bioprinting has been identified. The specifications of 3 dimensional printers appropriate for biomaterials used in building artificial tissue structures include the bioplotter’s ability to provide porosity, structural strength, smoothness and biodegradability conditions required for tissue engineering. The findings outlined in this paper can be useful to both academic and industry followers interested in bioprinting applications such as Scaffold Design and manufacturing by 3 Dimensional Printer Technologies.
