Chee Kai Chua et al. Materials (Basel). .

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has a long history of applications in biomedical engineering. The development and expansion of traditional biomedical applications are being advanced and enriched by new printing technologies. New biomedical applications such as bioprinting are highly attractive and trendy. This Special Issue aims to provide readers with a glimpse of the recent profile of 3D printing in biomedical research.

Keywords: 3D printing; additive manufacturing; biofabrication; biomanufacturing; bioprinting; drug delivery; implants; lab-on-chips; rapid prototyping; tissue engineering.
