ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:3D printing, a rapid prototyping technology, is considered to be one of the symbols of the third industrial revolution. There are many kinds of 3D printed materials, which have a wide range of clinical applications.OBJECTIVE: To systematically introduce 3D printed biological materials, to summarize the application advances of 3D printing technology in the printing and production of bone, artificial limbs, dentures, skin, blood vessels, stent, implant prosthesis, and tumor models, as well as to investigate the performance conditions of 3D printed biomaterials based on the advantages and disadvantages of the currently used biomaterials, in order to provide reference for future research.METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed was performed to search relevant articles published from 2010 to 2016, using the keywords of three-dimensional printing/3D printing/3-D printing; biomaterials; clinical application in Chinese and English, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Great progress in 3D printed biomaterials has been made. However, there are some defects in the existing printed materials, such as high cost, low printing precision and poor biodegradability. Only if the problem of materials is solved, can we continue to develop 3D printing technology. New breakthroughs in 3D printing in the field of medicine have been made, and new technologies and new materials have been applied in clinical practice. Systemic summarization of these application achievements of 3D printing in the field of medicine can provide reference for future medical research.
