Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a low-cost, high-efficiency production method, which can reduce the current cost and increase the profitability of skin repair material industry nowadays, and develop products with better performance. The 3D printing technology commonly used in the preparation of skin repair materials includes fused deposition molding technology and 3D bioprinting technology. Fused deposition molding technology has the advantages of simple and light equipment, but insufficient material selection. 3D bioprinting technology has more materials to choose from, but the equipment is cumbersome and expensive. In recent years, research on both technologies has focused on the development and application of materials. This article details the principles of fused deposition modeling and 3D bioprinting, research advances in wound dressings and tissue engineering skin production, and future developments in 3D printing on skin tissue repair, including cosmetic restoration and biomimetic tissue engineering. Also, this review prospects the development of 3D printing technology in skin tissue repairment.
