“…Researchers like Vaseashta et al [50], Zou et al [51] and Xu et al [52] had demonstrated application of AM in biomedical sector, major highlights of their study was effectiveness of AM in fabrication of implants with antibacterial properties. The major steps of bioprinting are, sampling of cell through process, cell culture or cell growth followed by preparation of homogenous ink mixture, furthermore this ink is subjected to bio-printer as requirement [53]. Postprocessing involves crosslinking or amalgamation with other additives to impart well tailored attributes, these overall procedure is schematically represented in figure 2(C).…”

The necessity for orthopedic prostheses, implants, and membranes to treat diseases, trauma, and other disasters has increased as the risk of survive through various factors has intensified exponentially. Considering exponential growth in demand, it has been observed that the traditional technology of grafts and membranes lags to fulfill the demand and effectiveness simultaneously. These challenges in traditional methodologies prompted a revolutionary shift in the biomedical industry when Additive manufacturing (AM) emerged as an alternative fabrication technique for medical equipments such as prostheses, implants, and membranes. However these techniques were fast and precise the major attributes of the biomedical materials were the processability, bactericidal nature, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity together with good mechanical properties. Major challenges faced by researchers in the present-day scenario regarding materials are the lack of bactericidal attributes in tailored material, though having better mechanical as well as biocompatible properties, which, on the other hand, are primary critical factors too, in the healthcare sector. Hence considering the advantages of additive manufacturing and need for membranes with bacteriacidal attributes this present review will highlight the studies based on the manufacturing of membranes with bacteria-resistant properties majorly using direct ink writing and some additive manufacturing techniques and the reasoning behind the antibacterial attributes of those composite materials.

Due to excellent biocompatibility, sufficient raw material, robust mechanical properties and easy cross‐linking, Silk Fibroin (SF) is a promising protein for 3D printing inks and an ideal candidate for 3D scaffolds in fields like regenerative medicine, bioelectronics and bio‐optics. In order to meet the requirements of print accuracy, mechanical properties and form retention capabilities, the first step is to prepare SF 3D printing inks using physical, chemical or other strategies of cross‐linking. The basic chemical groups and physical structure of SF determines its ability to form 3D networks under different conditions using various cross‐linking strategies. In the preparation of SF‐based 3D printing inks, physical, chemical or other strategies of cross‐linking improve the qualities of printing, but each strategy has its advantages and disadvantages. This paper discusses different crosslinking strategies for SF to support the development of exciting potential for SF‐based 3D printing inks to meet more needs in the future.
