3D Bioprinting is widely application the the field of science especially in medicine and bioenginnering. It’s biggest value is the ability to make tissue-like structures that can accurately mimic the environment of an an actual humans tissues and organs.

It can be extremely valuable in drug testing and clinical trials which could reduce the need for animal trials. Often for clinical trials and experiments to find cures, reactions, responses to new products and substances, animals are used. Obviously, it would be wrong to use human subjects, so we result to animals. Pharmaceutical testing is more ethical because it can help identify side effects of drugs and safe use of drugs with validated dosages on non-living subjects. With the 3D bioprinter animal testing can be lessened because of the advancement in mimicking human organs and tissues. Instead, these experiments or clinical trials can exist within 3D bioprinting.

Due to artificial organs being so high in demand due to the increased rise in vital organ failure, 3D bioprinting can assist those who need organs and fixed tissues, by replacing them with engineered versions. This helps to solve organ-related issues faster and quicker. This helps not only patients, but families and healthcare systems. In addition, testing treatment for diseases using artificially affected tissues, eliminates headaches that are associated with organ donation and transplantation. It is overall a huge weighted lifted off the shoulders of organ donors, surgeons and the healthcare industry.

The cosmetic surgery industry also benefits because bio printed skin tissue can be designed for those who want anything from facial contouring to breast augmentation. Additionally, it can be designed properly for the financial benefit of those working in the industry.

Additionally they can be used for bone tissue regeneration, prosthetics, dental applications, cartilage and muscle tissue.
