Bio-printing is a 3D printing process; it practices a computational file as a design to fabricate an objective layer by layer. However, different three-dimensional printing, bio-printers print with living cells and biomaterials, constructing organ-like configurations that let living cells reproduce.

Abstract
The additive manufacturing process denotes modern manufacturing technologies that create a practical model from digital data. These days, the 3D (three-dimensional) printing technology signifies a great prospect to support medicinal and healthcare firms to produce new definite medicines, allowing quick manufacture of medicinal transplants, and moving the approach that specializes surgeon and physician strategy measures. For example, currently, in the practice of modern medical treatment, patient-specific anatomical models (3D-printed) are used. Soon, functional implantable organs by 3D (three-dimensional) printed process will possibly be offered, decreasing the queue time and growing the total of lives protected. This modern manufacturing technology for healthcare and medical is still required to a great extent of work in development; however, it is applied in numerous dissimilar habits in a medicinal and therapeutic area that previously reeled below a huge burden concerning optimum presentation.
