Abstract

This review describes in detail the main methods of additive manufacturing (FDM, CJP, SLA, DLP), which make it possible to obtain three-dimensional structures with complex architecture (scaffolds) based on hydroxyapatite. The analysis of scientific information in the field of 3D printing of ceramics based on hydroxyappatite with subsequent application in regenerative medicine is carried out. The relevance of research in the field of obtaining biomedical products based on hydroxyapatite using additive technologies has been assessed.
