Abstract

As technology and computer applications reach new strides every day, the biomedical field is benefiting from this advancement and that includes the production of bioscaffolds for tissue engineering and bone regeneration. Even though the body is capable of healing minor injuries, some injuries might prove too challenging for the body to repair and that is where additive manufacturing (AM) comes in. This chapter discusses the primary materials as well as the major and mainstream methods used in AM of bioscaffolds for bone regeneration. In addition, new advancements in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and three-Dimensional (3D) designs in AM are addressed. The benefits and drawbacks of different methods used in AM for bone scaffolds and their suitability for human trials and further applications on patients are also discussed.
