Future of 3D printing: How 3D bioprinting technology can revolutionize healthcare?

Abstract: Currently there are more than 2,000 children on the transplant waiting list-and more than 100,000 Americans nationwide-awaiting a matching organ. Most children aged one through 10 are awaiting a kidney, liver, or heart. As with any transplant, there are two ways to find an organ-someone can donate or someone can die. Unfortunately, the supply falls far short of the demand, leaving people to die every day waiting for a second chance at life. Scientific and medical experts, however, continue to develop promising… Show more

“…The 3D printing technology has already brought about big improvements in various fields of medicine, especially orthopaedics [57] and also thoracic surgery [811]. This study used 3D printing technology, preoperative CT thin-layer scanning, reconstruction of 3D models based on scan results, and preparation of rib models using 3D printing techniques.…”

“… 85 Considering bioprinting, this enables the generation and transplantation of tissues, including multilayered skin, bone, vascular grafts, tracheal splints, heart tissue, and cartilaginous structure. 56 According to Morris, 86 if a transplant has to be performed, the three‐dimensional biological printing could save thousands of lives without the need to involve the donor.…”

“…Furthermore, addressing the ethical, social and regulatory issues concerning bioprinting still needs to be completed before implementing bioprinting in everyday clinical practice [106,114]. For efficient patient management, bioprinting needs to become commercially viable and safe [115]. Through 5-year anticipated advances, overall medical costs could be reduced using printing technology [108].…”
