Polymer-based biomaterials are a material of choice for many surgeons due
to their availability and durability. Many types are available on the market, but the
search for improved properties to cater to technology demands, such as 3D printing,
continues. Polyamide, to be used as an alternative in craniofacial reconstruction, has
been a subject of interest recently. This chapter explores the physical and mechanical
properties of polyamide composites fabricated viainjection moulding and 3D printing
techniques along with their biocompatibility. With promising physical, mechanical, and
biocompatibility properties, polyamide composites are expected to emerge as an
alternative biomaterial for craniofacial reconstruction soon.
Keywords: 3D printing, Craniofacial reconstruction, Polyamide composites.
