Recent Trends on Additive Manufacturing Biomaterial Composites in Tissue Regeneration Future Perspectives, Challenges, and Road Maps to Clinics for Biomedical Applications—A Review

In recent years, tissue abnormalities caused by trauma, cancer, infection, and arthritis have contributed to the growth of the field of tissue regeneration and repair. Scaffold autografts and allografts are not the only options for repairing body part defects. Biomaterial composite replacements have shown several extensive usages in clinical studies. The shape, porosity, composition, surface chemistry, and mechanical qualities of implants are precisely and uniquely adjusted to greatly improve tissue regeneration. 3D printing and other forms of additive manufacturing (AM) are progressively being considered for use in the research and development of prostheses and scaffolding materials, which was facilitated by their distinct benefits in creating intricate and nonuniform scaffolds to replace damaged tissues, with a focus on primary health care. The primary goal of this article was to provide an extensive overview of the biomaterial composite types, properties, and techniques used in AM, and to enhance the rapidity of tissue regeneration to fulfill the requirements of clinical applications.
