Special Issue Information

Volumetric bioprinting (VBP) represents a groundbreaking approach in additive manufacturing, which implicates a contactless building three-dimensional (3D) structure within a bioink-containing container. This novel approach promises super-fast production times, more intricate tissue-like structure geometries and new biomaterial properties; making it a key technology of interest for tissue engineering. This special issue, titled "Volumetric 3D Bioprinting: Unveiling its Future", aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges (i.e. multimaterial, resolution and scalability) and future directions of volumetric 3D bioprinting with a range of research and review papers, being the first special issue of this cutting-edge bioprinting topic.
