6 Advances in 3D Bioprinting of Living Tissue - ASME
Jul 8, 2020 · The 3D printing of living cells follows standard 3D printing methods, with a few twists. The printer, following a CAD file, lays down layer upon layer of material to build a shape. Instead of metals or plastics, bioprinters use bioinks as their materials. These contain living cells amid viscous materials like alginate or gelatin.
