    Abstract

    3D powder printing (3DP) enables the fabrication of porous scaffolds with anisotropic aligned pores for bone tissue engineering and for the fabrication of custom made implants for cranio-maxillofacial surgery. By combining 3D printing and self-setting biocement matrices, a low temperature processing chain can be established for a simultaneous spatial control over both structure geometry and composition by using multi-colour printers. This contribution aims to highlight bioceramic material approaches in order to fabricate scaffolds and implants by 3DP with a special emphasis on the drug modification of such structures.
