Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, an additive manufacturing based technique of biomaterials fabrication, is an innovative and auspicious strategy in medical and pharmaceutical fields. The ability of producing regenerative tissues and organs has made this technology a pioneer to the creation of artificial multi-cellular tissues/organs. A broad variety of biomaterials is currently being utilized in 3D bioprinting as well as multiple techniques employed by researchers. In this review, we demonstrate the most common and novel biomaterials in 3D bioprinting technology further with introducing the related techniques that are commonly taking into account by researchers. In addition, an attempt has been accomplished to hand over the most relevant application of 3D bioprinting techniques such as tissue regeneration, cancer investigations, etc. by presenting the most important works. The main aim of this review paper is to emphasis on strengths and limitations of existence biomaterials and 3D bioprinting techniques in order to carry out a comparison through them.
