3D Bioprinting, also known as additive manufacturing, is used to make three dimensional solid objects from a digital file which is achieved by using additive processes.

3D Bioprinting technology developed from prototyping in various applications for development of actual usable parts and products. The 3D bioprinting market facilitates opportunities for prostheses, dental implants, hearing aids, contact lenses, hip implants, custom made knees etc. that are customized and personalized according to the individual, one of the advances of 3D printing is known as bioprinting or the ability to print living tissue. The 3D printer uses “bio-ink,” a blend of living cells, the bioprinter can create a structure from these cells, layer by layer, to form human tissue. With the help of 3D bioprinting physicians can use patient-specific data to capture, modify and apply various physical solutions of all shapes and sizes to the patient. Without such applications and technology, personalized treatment would be difficult, as patients would be unable to access the unique parts that can be rapidly and simply manufactured using bioprinting. It also serves to reduce surgery cost, time, trauma and the healing period which is beneficial for both patient and surgeon.
