Abstract

Additive manufacturing, often known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is driving significant progress in a diverse range of fields, such as engineering, manufacturing, food, and medicine. Realistic tissue models and organ transplantation can provide necessary innovative opportunities to tackle countless medical and health care obstacles. These can be achieved by incorporation of 3D printing into tissue engineering, using live cells encapsulated in natural or synthetic biomaterials. This evolution of 3D bioprinting has been the focus of our article. Here, we methodically discussed the current stance, history, techniques, materials, and taxonomy of 3D bioprinting along with the challenges encountered.
