3D bio-printing is a manufacturing process where biomaterials, any  synthetic/natural material made suitable to construct artificial organs and/or replace bones and tissue, are put together to make tissue-like structures to imitate natural tissues and furthermore create an organ.

This biotechnology gained popularity quickly because of its ability to create highly aligned tissues. It uses bioink, which is a hydrogel biomaterial, to create organs and tissues layer-by-layer

A multidisciplinary research study at the Wyss Institute at Harvard led to the development of a multi-material 3D bioprinting method that can generate vascularized tissues composed of living human cells that can sustain its architecture and function for over six weeks.

This biotechnology method for repairing and replacing tissues and furthermore organs is a marvelous advancement for technology in the 21st Century.
