N2 - The number of studies using Pickering emulsion (PE) as printing ink in the 3D printing process has been increasing. PE is an emulsion system stabilized by particles irreversibly adsorbed at the oil/water interface. Colloidal particles from organic and inorganic sources have been utilized as Pickering emulsifiers. This review highlights the latest advancement in 3D printing using PE-based systems. The effect of the physicochemical properties of colloidal particles on the rheological behavior and printability of PE-based systems are discussed. The evaluation techniques for characterizing the printing performance are also highlighted. Lastly, the challenges and opportunities for future research are addressed. This review provides insight into the potential of PE-based inks in 3D printing.
