ROLE OF 3D BIOPRINTING TECHNOLOGYINPHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE

Abstract

The novel three-dimensional printing technology is discovered with the long-term goal to produce human tissuesand the organs for the transplants and the surgical therapy, which is mainly based on the layer-by-layer additivefabricated method and 3D imaging. The aim of this review paper is to give an overview of bioprinting existingliterature and the principles and software used to demonstrate how a digital information is transferred intothebiological models that imitate the biomimetic organs. This review paper surveys the multiple applicationof
bioprinting technology by demonstrating the current developments and the limitations of bio-materials, the paper
highlights the goals, and objectives of the bioprinting and then the brief introduction of new materials andtheir
specific and critical parameters for printing as well as the broad applications areas, and a possible way to sort out
the serious problem in shortage of human organs in tissue engineering and regenerative medicines ,this paper alsohighlights the key factors of the printing process, and also the existing challenges of the 3D bioprinting intheselection of cell and material, and the various limitation that prevent approaches in usual clinical practice whichincludes the unsatisfactory properties of materials, high cost, and relatively long processing durations.
