Laboratory technologies that build living tissue or edit genetic material, including three dimensional printing with living cells and enzymes that cut DNA at a chosen sequence. The two techniques here come from different corners of biology, one building organ like structures layer by layer and the other altering genes, yet both treat living material as something engineers can design. Devices that are implanted, monitor a patient or image the body have their own groups.

Generally, 3D bioprinting uses a layer-by-layer method to deposit materials known as bio-inks to create tissue-like structures that are later used in various medical and tissue engineering fields. 3D bioprinting covers an extensive range of bioprinting techniques and biomaterials.
