Abstract

Additive manufacturing, which overcomes the drawbacks of traditional manufacturing methods, is rapidly revolutionizing in the field of medical sector. The importance of additive manufacturing in the field of biomedical engineering are discussed in this chapter. The additive manufacturing technique is a flexible and cost-effective approach for printing complex body parts, supporting tissue growth, and providing personalized solutions to a wide range of problems. The additive manufacturing is playing a vital role such as therapeutic delivery, surgical planning, implant design, temporal bone dissection and tissue engineering. The selection of materials and additive manufacturing techniques for the implants and prosthesis is important in terms of customization to the patients. This technology can create any object with any complexity at higher reduction in manufacturing lead time. Three dimensional bioprinting overcomes the drawbacks of three-dimensional printing such as better control of cell distribution and adaptable to extracellular matrix (ECM) environment and biocompatibility characteristics. The rapid prototyping is playing a vital role in fabricating the various personalized protective equipments amidst during COVID 19 despite in the restricted rules and regulations. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
