“…Compared with non-biological printing, 3D bioprinting combines biomaterials such as hydrogels, cells, and growth factors to create tissue-like structures that mimic natural tissues and structures. [302,303] The ultimate goal of tissue engineering is to assemble functional constructs that restore, maintain, or improve damaged tissues or whole organs. The advances in 3D bioprinting provide rapid pathways to construct artificial tissues and organs in vitro.…”

Soft polymer materials, which are similar to human tissues, have played critical roles in modern interdisciplinary research. Compared with conventional methods, 3D printing allows rapid prototyping and mass customization and is ideal for processing soft polymer materials. However, 3D printing of soft polymer materials is still in the early stages of development and is facing many challenges including limited printable materials, low printing resolution and speed, and poor functionalities. The present review aims to summarize the ideas to address these challenges. It focuses on three points: 1) how to develop printable materials and make unprintable materials printable, 2) how to choose suitable methods and improve printing resolution, and 3) how to directly construct functional structures/systems with 3D printing. After a brief introduction on this topic, the mainstream 3D printing technologies for printing soft polymer materials are reviewed, with an emphasis on improving printing resolution and speed, choosing suitable printing techniques, developing printable materials, and printing multiple materials. Moreover, the state-of-the-art advancements in multimaterial 3D printing of soft polymer materials are summarized. Furthermore, the revolutions brought about by 3D printing of soft polymer materials for applications similar to biology are highlighted. Finally, viewpoints and future perspectives for this emerging field are discussed.

“…Several bioprinting methods have been employed to construct mimetic tissues, each presenting advantages and limitations. For instance, extrusion-based bioprinting, inkjet/drop-on-demand, laser-assisted, stereolithography, and electronspinning-based are some methods used in biofabrication, being the extrusion-based bioprinting technique the most commonly used, due to its easy of handling and low cost [ 89 , 90 ].…”

“…Bioprinting of desired tissues may utilize different techniques according to their individual principles, material demands, and considering their advantages, disadvantages. Based on the principle of operation, 3D bioprinting can be categorized into three types: droplet-based, extrusion-based, and photocuring-based [ 20 ].…”

Bioprinting is a relatively new yet evolving technique predominantly used in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. 3D bioprinting techniques combine the advantages of creating Extracellular Matrix (ECM)like environments for cells and computer-aided tailoring of predetermined tissue shapes and structures. The essential application of bioprinting is for the regeneration or restoration of damaged and injured tissues by producing implantable tissues and organs. The capability of bioprinting is yet to be fully scrutinized in sectors like the patient-specific spatial distribution of cells, bio-robotics, etc. In this review, currently developed experimental systems and strategies for the bioprinting of different types of tissues as well as for drug delivery and cancer research are explored for potential applications. This review also digs into the most recent opportunities and future possibilities for the efficient implementation of bioprinting to restructure medical and technological practices.
