This presentation addresses the evolution of regenerative medicine to the complex 3D bioprinted structures that can be produced today. This exciting field of biofabrication allows cells and biomaterials to be precisely shaped in the geometry of the desired tissue or organ. This opens new possibilities for medicine whereby structures can be created that accurately mimic their natural analogues.

Current challenges are explained and how the use of multiple technologies within a single system can be used to as a strategy to overcome these challenges.
