Abstract

The emergence of bioprinting in recent years represents a marvellous advancement in 3D printing technology. It expands the range of 3D printable materials from the world of non-living materials into the world of living materials. Biomaterials play an important role in this paradigm shift. This Special Issue focuses on biomaterials and bioprinting and contains eight articles covering a number of recent topics in this emerging area.

Keywords: 3D printing; additive manufacturing; biofabrication; biomanufacturing; biomaterial; bioprinting; hydrogel; nanobiomaterial; rapid prototyping; tissue model; tissue spheroids.
