“…With this in mind, scientists and engineers originally attempted to replicate the ECM through conventional techniques, which consequently established a framework for using more advanced techniques, such as 3-D printing, to yield higher quality scaffolds. The 3-D printing technique can create defined scaffold structures with controlled pore size and interconnectivity and the ability to support cell growth and tissue formation [64][65][66]. The current methods for 3-D printing involve a CAD, which is then relayed to each 3-D printing system to "print" the desired scaffold structure.…”

The ultimate goal of any surgical procedure is to improve perioperative form and function and to minimize operative and postoperative morbidity. In recent years, many exciting and novel technological advances have been introduced in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. One example of such technology that is continuing to increase in prevalence is the use of 3-dimensional (3-D) printing techniques with special properties, which seems hopeful for practitioners in the field of regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering is a critical and important area in biomedical engineering for creating biological alternatives for grafts, implants, and prostheses. One of the main triad bases for tissue engineering is scaffolds, which play a great role for determining growth directions of stem cells in a 3-dimensional aspect. Mechanical strength of these scaffolds is critical as well as interconnected channels and controlled porosity or pores distribution. However, existing 3-D scaffolds proved less than ideal for actual clinical applications. In this chapter, we review the application and advancement of rapid prototyping (RP) techniques in the design and creation of synthetic scaffolds for use in tissue engineering. Also, we survey through new and novel merging era of "bioprinting."

Energy harvesting and sensing triboelectric module based on 3D-printed materials have been developed. Rapid prototyping, 3D-printing method is used to prepare sheets of triboelectric materials and simple film casting technique is employed to deposit electrically conductive carbon based elastomeric composite on these dielectrics. The device exhibits capability to detect and harvest energy from mechanical deformation. The developed 3D printed triboelectric system, under tapping condition, provides the maximum rms power of 41.2 μW for the optimum load resistance of 6.1 MΩ that corresponds to the power density of 10.6 μW/cm 2 . The processing set the building-block towards fully printed triboelectric devices.

“…11 While the ability to design scaffolds morphologically 12 and derivatize them with bioactive groups has evolved, 13 there has been a lag in the development of new polymers and scaffold precursors available to bioengineers to further advance the frontier of 3D printing for medical applications. 14 The most recent generation of 3D scaffolds for TE typically uses degradable polymers that have been used in devices or formulations for applications approved for use in humans by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Polyesters, polyurethanes, and polylactides have received the most attention in FDAapproved resorbable implant products.…”
