Perspectives
3D printing has great potential in biomedical engineering. Many research groups around the world have performed excellent work on applying 3D printing technologies in the biomedical field, which is very encouraging. However, as this review has shown, there are still many problems for 3D biomedical printing, which is exciting because they pose challenges to us who are already working in this field and to those who will join us to take on the challenges. It is definite that all efforts made by the research community will advance 3D biomedical printing greatly in the coming years.
