Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is a recognized additive manufacturing (AM) or rapid prototyping technology, which allows the manufacturer to construct custom 3D objects using computer software and computer-aided design. This chapter describes various materials used for AM and provides an array of information on the properties of materials used in 3D and four-dimensional printing. The most promising applications of 3DP have been reported in the area of biomedical engineering including human health. Rheology measures the flow and behavior of the materials. Ceramics comprise both metallic and nonmetallic elements and have been used as materials for 3D printed scaffolds because of their high mechanical strength and biocompatibility. Polymers with the low melting point are extensively used in 3DP because of their low weight, low cost, and processing flexibility. Bioprinting technologies allow the automated biofabrication of cell-laden constructs through the layer-by-layer deposition of bioinks in both in vivo and in vitro.
