Abstract: 3D cell bioprinting is a cutting-edge technology to create living tissues such as blood vessels, bones, cartilage or skin. It is based on the additive manufacturing technology of 3D printing. That is, three-dimensional cellular structures are generated by layer-by-layer addition of a material without the need for a mold. The material that is added layer by layer is called bioink. Its application has spread to sectors such as pharmaceuticals, dermocosmetics and food.
