3D printing aims to deliver organs on demand

Since regenerative medicine has proved that the first three types of all four levels of complexity in building organs can be implanted into patience, scientist and researchers have the reason to look forward to that 3D printing can contribute to the widespread use of such organs. For printing an organ, one lab wants to use 3D printers to print both an artificial scaffold and living cells, while another lab uses 3D printer to situate the building blocks in layers to build tiny slices of organs. So far, no lab has succeeded in 3D-printing organs with the tiniest scales of blood vessels and organs, but bioprinting pioneers wish to make use of the smallest 3D-printed organs, and they believe the bioprinting revolution would happen in 10-15 years, which would change many patients’ life.
