3D printing future perspective in medicine

Abstract The prospect of producing whole organs for transplant has driven the exponential growth of 3D bioprinting in the recent times. While it is still in the realm of scientific fantasy to mass produce custom designed organs, there are several limitations to that need to be overcome before 3D printed organs could be available. 3D printing utilizes the advances in the fields of cells technologies, tissue engineering, material processing, computer-aided designing, and manufacturing practices.
