Abstract: 

This study deals with the 3D Bio-Printing technology, a type of additive manufacturing in which the 3D object is imitated to be visual within the allocated period of time interval that resembles similar in considered aspects of real world objects like kidney, bones and many other body parts. The material used includes the powders of polymer mass that are solidified by directional laser heating. While talking about Bio-Printing, the material used are living tissues, calcium source, vascular tissue, placental fluid, embryonic stem cell etc., and the entire organ is regenerated from the tissue, which is being printed in the enzymatic incubation medium. The regenerated organ is similar to the patient’s organ. The information of the patient's organ get read from many scanning devices. The making of organ is controlled by the speed of filling tissue, temperature at which the process is carried out, bonding agent to bond the tissues together, incubation medium, type of tissue, body immunity, stem cell growing phenomenon, filler head movement respective to all the axes, slicing path, etc., The produced artificial organ (human bone, human kidneys, bladder, etc.,) can be replaced with the defected organ. Thus, the controlled action of all the parameters can lead to the organic replacement of the birth similar organs.
