Biomedical Applications of 3D Printing

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has a very important role in biomedical applications. 3D printing has most definitely entered the mainstream. Entrepreneurial types are using the technique to build practically everything: protein models, fabrics, jewellery, dental implants, and lots of others. Medical uses for 3D printing, both actual and potential, can be organized into several broad categories, including tissue and organ fabrication; creation of customized prosthetics, implants, and anatomical models; and pharmaceutical research regarding drug dosage forms, delivery, and discovery. Here, we are discussing the principles, mechanism, and applications of 3D printing in the biomedical field.
