Table 1.
Materials Application | Printer Style | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|---|
Extrusion-based | Bioplotting | wide range of bioinks | slow printing process |
Fusion deposition modelling | wide range of bioinks | limited resolution only hydrogels slow |
|
Laser-assisted | Stereolithography | high resolution possible | UV damage to cells small range of bioinks |
Droplet-based | Inkjet | gentle to printed cells fast printing affordable |
limitations of cell density low resolution |
