Abstract

During the past 30 years, 3D printing (3DP) technologies significantly influenced the manufacturing world, including innovation in biomedical devices. This special issue reviews recent advances in translating 3DP biomaterials and medical devices for metallic, ceramic, and polymeric devices, as well as bioprinting for organ and tissue engineering, along with regulatory issues in 3DP biomaterials. In our introductory article, besides introducing selected 3DP processes for biomaterials, current challenges and growth opportunities are also discussed. Finally, it highlights a few success stories for the 3D printed biomaterials for medical devices. We hope these articles will educate engineers, scientists, and clinicians about recent developments in translational 3DP technologies.
