3D printing (3DP) is one of the emerging technology in 21th century and popular in academics and industries. Wide range of materials printed by 3DP and it should be noted that the flexibility of 3DP materials comes from the range of 3DP systems and the seven categories specified in the ISO/ASTM standard. Also, it is not surpassed by all new printers or processes for novel materials. 3DP can never be used as a stand-alone process, being an integral part of a multi-process system or an optimised multi-system process to suit the production of innovative materials and new product requirements. 3DP technology has gained popularity in all fields such as automobile, healthcare, aerospace, recreation, textiles, apparel and the fashion market, etc. Researchers, textile technologists, designers of apparel, suppliers and distributors have since the last decade; they have been working on implementing 3DP technology in their respective fields. 3DP has been recognised as an innovative and efficient process but still, a lot of work is going on these days to use sustainable materials in 3DP from an environmental viewpoint. This chapter provides a brief review on biomaterials that can be used in this technology for sustainable development and strengthen the knowledge bank to the young researchers working in this field. |
