THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING OF SCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING
For biomedical applications, 3-D printing has established its appreciable potential in the production of functional scaffolds. Day by day increase in advancement in the techniques of 3D printing gave rise to hope for enhancements in regenerative medication. The aim of this field of research is the use of stem cells and different techniques to replace and repair the injured organs, cells, or tissues. Basic concept of Tissue Engineering: In 1993, tissue engineering concept was formalized in a paper by two scientist Langer and Vacanti, applications and characteristics of biodegradable 3-D scaffolds were described in detailed (An, J. et al., 2015). Tissue engineering is a developing branch, in which tissue scaffolds are used for the development of new tissues and these tissues used for various medical purposes. After many years of continuous efforts, a group of tissue culture, implantation replacement technologies have been established, which allows artificial extracellular fabricati...
