Abstract

3D printing by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is characterized as a technology to produce three- dimensional objects/models from the deposition of successive layers of the molten material of interest, on a work surface of a 3D printer. Most applications of the technique involve the use of conventional polymeric filaments for the production of parts with different geometries, which meet the specific demands of areas such as Engineering, Architecture and Education. In recent years, the manufacture and use of functional, biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymeric filaments containing active substances has been gaining prominence in the literature due to the possibility of producing prosthesis, artificial tissues and medicines with controlled release, at a relatively low cost, high precision and reproducibility. Here, we present a rapid communication about the possibilities of the FDM 3D printing using polymeric filaments, for applications in the field of biotechnology.
