Abstract

The use of biocompatible polymers as printing materials is currently considered one of the most promising approaches to three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies, especially for tissue engineering applications. The selection of a suitable polymer and printing method depends on many factors, such as the structure complexity, surface chemistry, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of the desired product. Many researchers have been developing novel polymers to overcome limitations in 3D printing technologies and account for the factors mentioned above. This chapter reviews the recently studied polymers for 3D printing applications and explains the limitations of current technologies and future applications of polymers as a 3D printing material.
