Organ Printing as an Information Technology: Towards Tissue and Organ Informatics
Rodrigo Rezende, Post-Doc Researcher, Center for Information Technology Renato Archer, Brazil

Organ printing is a computer-aided robotic additive biofabrication of human organs. The information technology and computer-aided design software are instrumental in the transformation of virtual 3D bioimaging information about human tissue and organs into living biological reality during 3D bioprinting.
