Abstract
This chapter provides a survey of the most recent achievements in the field of additive manufacturing (AM) with biodegradable polymers. In particular, relevant applicative fields are introduced by highlighting the particular advantages and the most challenging issues of AM. The technological and methodological aspects of the various AM techniques applied so far to biodegradable polymers are presented and their specific processing requirements discussed. The biodegradable polymers under investigation for AM are presented by underlining their physical-chemical and processing properties in relation to AM. While the range of biopolymers for AM is increasing, this chapter is focused specifically on those that have been more extensively investigated showing promising outcomes for their commercial translation.
