Title: Polymeric Materials for Organogenic Printing
Abstract: 
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a printing technology in which biological organs and tissues are printed three dimensionally, using a layer-by-layer approach. The organs obtained through this technique may have application in organ transplantation, for screening newly developed drugs and physiological studies of drug assimilation. The demand on the organ transplantation and uncertainty over the evaluation of newly formulated drugs on animal organs necessitated the utilization of 3D printing technology in the field of medical science. The process of 3D organ printing were done in three steps e.g. prebioprinting, bioprinting, and postbioprinting. The first step involves formation of organ blueprint and material selection with the utilization of imaging technologies to capture of organ blueprint. These include computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray with CCD or MOSFET. The information is then transformed into digital language and this information provides the 3D representation of the image and the information is prototyped by the 3D printer. The selection of polymeric material depends on the physiology of the organ to be synthesized, its utilization and the type of printer adopted. The printing refers to the actual prototyping of the organ, in which foundation of the organ is formed first, then the print head moves above to form the next layer and in the same way the organ model is developed. The poststep involves conditioning of the developed prototype of the organ through the proliferation and differentiation process. This is achieved by incubating the organ at specified environment and temperature for a specified period of time in a bioreactor
