BIOPRINTING
Definition: (Noun) The use of 3D printing technology with materials that incorporate viable living cells, for example, to produce tissue for reconstructive surgery.
Examples: “Welcome to the age of bioprinting, where the machines we’ve built are building bits and pieces of us.”
“Layer-by-layer bioprinting of artificial tissues like cartilage, which has a stratified structure, is a logical choice, say the researchers.”
“The longer term holy grail of 3D bioprinting is the ability to be able to print viable human tissue for grafting or implant into the human body.”
“The company says that their goal is to open up bioprinting to a broader group of users.”
