Type: article
Abstract: Over the past 30 years, the medical sector has increasingly used 3D printing to offer personalized and fast solutions for patients. The lack of biocompatible and biomechanically efficient polymers, hydrogels, biomaterials and bioinks is a major barrier to the widespread adoption of 3D printing in biomedical manufacturing. For this aim, a variety of synthetic and biological polymers can be employed. Combining biological and synthetic materials can enhance their physicochemical and biological qualities, as each has advantages and downsides. This paper discusses the types of synthetic, natural and hybrid materials that can be used for medical purpose 3D printing.
