3D printing method for bone tissue engineering scaffold

Trends in bioactivity: inducing and detecting mineralization of regenerative polymeric scaffolds

“…Notably, various forms of 3D printing have been leveraged extensively to impart finer control of microarchitecture as well as to produce patient-specific scaffolds. 46 For instance, selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing employs a laser to sinter a powder (e.g., a mixture of polymer and bioceramic) and fuse particles together, while unfused particles support the structure. Comparison of composite scaffold bioactivity efficacy is difficult, as in vitro and in vivo evaluations of such scaffolds are highly variable in the literature.…”

A comprehensive review on the biomedical frontiers of nanowire applications

“…Three-dimensional printing is a revolutionary tool in biomedical applications, particularly in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine [ 474 ]. Three-dimensional bioprinting promises high yield, cheap cost, and simplicity despite limited mechanical strength, exorbitant prices, and insufficient precision [ 475 ].…”

3D printing for patient-specific implants in musculoskeletal oncology

“…3D-printed technology is able to create titanium alloy implants through two strategies (powder bed method and power deposit method), exploiting the known characteristics of the metal such as high strength, low density, high corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility ( 58 , 59 ). Some studies demonstrated that titanium alloy materials have a very good effect on promoting the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts ( 60 , 61 ). Others confirmed that 3D printing process technology can integrate dense parts and porous structures to promote osteoblast adhesion and autologous bone ingrowth ( 62 , 63 ).…”
