Abstract

Three dimensional printing enables the development of diverse geometrics through computer aided design (CAD) using different techniques and materials for desired application such as pharmaceutical drug delivery medicine and was approved by food and drug administration in 2015. There has been a growing intrest in 3D printing for drug manufacturing and most of the preoperative models have centred on a dental and craniomaxillo facial area, it applied for surgical planning, prosthetic and other applications. Many researchers have attempted to use computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) to realize scaffold that provides a 3 dimensional environment for regeneration of tissues and organs. As a result several 3D printing technologies includes stereo-lithography, deposition modelling, inkjet based printing and selective laser sintering have been developed. Due to 3D printing technology precise and unique doses can be engineered and fabricated according to individual prescription. This review composes basics, types and technique used advantages and disadvantages of 3d printing.
