3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing across various industries, but the increased emphasis on sustainability necessitates the development of renewable bioresource feedstocks, which often fail to meet the specifications required for 3D printing. To overcome these drawbacks, acrylic functionalization has emerged as a viable option for improving the chemical, mechanical, and surface properties and processability of bioresources. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of acrylation techniques that can be employed for a diverse range of bioresources to facilitate their utilization as a feedstock for 3D printing applications. The article begins by examining modifications of bioresources to acrylated materials that can improve their properties and enhance their suitability for 3D printing applications. Subsequently, the review examines a range of 3D printing techniques that are compatible with modified bioresources. Case studies are then presented that examine the modification of plant-, animal-, and marine-based bioresources and their utilization in 3D printing for a variety of applications. Finally, the review addresses the challenges and identifies future research directions, including green modification techniques, synergistic combinations of bioresources, 4D printing, and developing bio-based covalent adaptative networks. The aim is to accelerate the development of sustainable, high-performance materials for 3D printing while promoting environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.
