Abstract

Rapid  Prototyping  is  a  set  of  technologies  for  the  physical  reproduction  layer  by  layer  of  prototypes  and customized parts. Among them, three-dimensional printing (3DP) can be used for the manufacture of scaffolds of  biomaterials  used  in  tissue  engineering.  Within  the  ceramic  materials  hydroxyapatite,  the  main  inorganic component  of  bone  of  vertebrates,  is  commonly  employed.  The  technique  of  3DP  requires  a  powder  and  a liquid binder which serves as a bond between the particles; the process parameters must be optimized as well. Particularly hydroxyapatite scaffolds should have high porosity (40-80%). This literature review is designed to describe details in the manufacture of bioceramics by 3DP.
