This book chapter delineates advanced additive manufacturing processes used in clinical practice for high-resolution fabrication of mechanically-robust and dimensionally-accurate bone tissue scaffolds with a focus on pneumatic micro-extrusion, fused deposition modeling, polymer jet printing, and digital light processing. The main components as well as the underlying physics behind each process are explained. Furthermore, this chapter is integrated with a review of literature; the aim is to show how these additive manufacturing processes are potentially utilized in clinical practice for bone tissue engineering. This chapter serves as an introductory platform toward advanced studies and/or research works in the area of bone regenerative medicine. Finally, this chapter will be helpful to engineering and medical students as well as researchers from academia and industry.
