Tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds have enormous significance for the possibility of regeneration of complex tissue structures or even whole organs. Three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques allow fabricating TE scaffolds, having an extremely complex structure, in a repeatable and precise manner. Moreover, they enable the easy application of computer-assisted methods to TE scaffold design. The latest additive manufacturing techniques open up opportunities not otherwise available. This study aimed to summarize the state-of-art field of 3D printing techniques in applications for tissue engineering with a focus on the latest advancements. The following topics are discussed: systematics of the available 3D printing techniques applied for TE scaffold fabrication; overview of 3D printable biomaterials and advancements in 3D-printing-assisted tissue engineering.

“…Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a promising fabrication technology for making customizable products for various applications. [1][2][3][4] In the biomedical field, 3D printing has attracted great attention in fabricating tissue engineering implants, as the 3D printed architecture can morphologically mimic the multi-scale structure of human body tissues, as well as its versatility and precise fabrication process. [5][6][7][8] However, the dynamic function and responsive changes of native tissues are not able to be exactly imitated through 3D printing.…”

Four‐dimensional (4D) printing is an emerging technology for fabricating customizable tissue engineering implants. 4D printed implants with shape memory properties are expected to provide new application opportunities for minimally invasive surgery. A great challenge is to prepare the biodegradable materials with robust mechanical properties for 4D printing ink. Herein, biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) based on IPDI, PEG, PCL, and diols with UPy motifs are synthesized. The pendant UPy motifs can dimerize to form physical crosslinking by quadruple hydrogen bonding assembly, accompanying with significant improving the mechanical properties, self‐healing capability and shape memory effect. With an optimal UPy content, the PU‐U2‐25% shows robust mechanical properties and much better shape memory effect compared with the PU‐U2‐0% without UPy. Moreover, the TPUs show a facile processing at relative low temperature approximately 100 °C which avoid degradation at high processing temperature. Combined with the good processability, self‐healing capacity and shape memory effect of the PU‐U2‐25%, we primary demonstrated its 4D printing potential for various specimens. This work proposed a new strategy to design TPUs integrating the merits of linear and pendant physical crosslinking motifs to obtained excellent comprehensive properties, which would develop the 4D printable materials for applications of personalized and minimally invasive treatment.
