Abstract

Bioprinting is an emerging technology for fabricating intricate and diverse structures that closely mimic natural tissues and organs for applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and cancer research. Among the various bioprinting techniques, extrusion-based bioprinting stands out due to its capability to apply a wide range of biomaterials and living cells and its controllability over printed structures. In bioprinting, bioink stored in a syringe is extruded through a nozzle connected to the syringe and deposited onto the printing stage to form 3D structures. The bioprinting process involves the flow of bioink through the syringe and nozzle, then spreading on a printing stage. As a result, fluid mechanics plays a crucial role in extrusion bioprinting. Notably, the biomaterials used in bioprinting are typically non-Newtonian fluids, which have complex viscoelastic and thixotropic behaviors; the influence of these behaviors on the bioprinting process has garnered considerable attention, with various methods employed, including numerical simulations via computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This paper reviews the latest developments in the fluid mechanics of extrusion-based bioprinting to shed light on the challenges and key considerations involved. This review covers the topics of extrusion bioprinting (including driving mechanisms, printability, and cell viability), biomaterial rheology and its effect on bioprinting, multi-material bioprinting, and numerical simulations of bioprinting. Key issues and challenges are also discussed along with recommendations for future research.
