3D printing (3DP) or Additive Manufacturing (AM) is used to convert a 3D model into a three dimensional object and the material used for this purpose is called 3DP material. 3D printing has begun to flourish in various application areas in healthcare such as dental, medical, implants, drug manufacturing and so on. The materials used for these purposes vary accordingly and can range from plastics, resins, metals, to ceramics. For instance, while dental implants mostly use metals and ceramics to print dental crowns, the medical industry has its own array of bio-materials. Many such biomaterials are under research stage and are expected to be a prominent material for the 3D printing in healthcare industry
