3D Bioprinting from Lab to Industry

A complete overview of bioprinting, from fundamentals and essential topics to recent advances and future applications

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is one of the most transformative technological processes to emerge in recent decades. Its layer-by-layer construction method can create objects to remarkably precise specifications with minimal waste or energy consumption. Bioprinting, a related process that employs cells and biomaterials instead of man-made substances or industrial materials, has a range of biomedical and chemical uses that make it an exciting and fast-growing area of research.

3D Bioprinting from Lab to Industry offers a cutting-edge overview of this topic, its recent advances, and its future applications. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to a flourishing research field, this book exceeds all existing treatments of the subject in its scope and comprehensiveness. Moving from fundamental principles of the technology to its immense future potential, this is a must-own volume for scientists looking to incorporate this process into their research or product development.

3D Bioprinting from Lab to Industry readers will also find:

• Treatment of printing parameters, surface topography requirements, and much more
• Detailed discussion of topics including 5D printing in the medical field, dynamic tuning, the multi-material extrusion approach, and many others
• A complete account of the bioprinting process, from lab requirements to commercialization

3D Bioprinting from Lab to Industry is ideal for researchers―graduate and post-doctoral scholars―in the areas of materials science, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, biotechnology, and biochemistry.
