Additive Manufacturing for the Development of Biological Implants, Scaffolds, and Prosthetics

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-expanding technology being used to make biomedical implants in a variety of industries. AM has much potential for tailored and customized therapies since each patient is different in general and dental health. It also has a vast and extensive potential for biological mimicry of needed complex states for physiological implants due to its customized design and decreased manufacturing time and cost. AM can produce scaffolds with a tailored exterior form and a porous interior structure, which are crucial for mending extensive segmental bone lesions. Scaffold design, AM, and posttreatments are all part of the scaffold construction process. This research aims to provide a more systematic assessment of the use of various AM processes in the area of biological implants, prosthetics, and scaffolds utilizing different biomaterials, as well as the scope of future research for advancing the field of biomedical using various AM processes.
