Abstract

3D printing and bioprinting have advanced significantly in printing resolution in recent years, which presents a great potential for fabricating small and complex features suitable for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with new functionalities. This special issue aims to give a glimpse into the future of this research field.

Keywords: 3D printing; MEMS; additive manufacturing; bioprinting; rapid prototyping.
