A review on stereolithography and its applications in biomedical engineering
TL;DR: Stereolithography is a solid freeform technique (SFF) that was introduced in the late 1980s as mentioned in this paper, and it has been widely used in biomedical applications, as well as the biodegradable resin materials developed for use with stereolithography.
Journal ArticleDOI
25th Anniversary Article: Engineering Hydrogels for Biofabrication
Jos Malda,Jos Malda,Jetze Visser,Ferry P.W. Melchels,Ferry P.W. Melchels,Tomasz Jungst,Wim E. Hennink,Wouter J.A. Dhert,Jürgen Groll,Dietmar W. Hutmacher,Dietmar W. Hutmacher +10 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the deposition process, the parameters and demands of hydrogels in biofabrication, with special attention to robotic dispensing as an approach that generates constructs of clinically relevant dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive manufacturing of tissues and organs
Ferry P.W. Melchels,Ferry P.W. Melchels,Marco Domingos,Travis J. Klein,Jos Malda,Jos Malda,Paulo Jorge Da Silva Bartolo,Dietmar W. Hutmacher,Dietmar W. Hutmacher +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the rationale for engineering tissues and organs by combining computer-aided design with additive manufacturing technologies that encompass the simultaneous deposition of cells and materials, particularly with respect to limitations due to the lack of suitable polymers and requirements to move the current concepts to practical application.

Journal ArticleDOI
A review of rapid prototyping techniques for tissue engineering purposes
TL;DR: The future research should be focused on the development of RP machines designed specifically for fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds, although RP methods already can serve as a link between tissue and engineering.
