3D printing is a process that converts 3D graphics dimensional objects similarly 2D printing on paper. 3D is printed on a piece of skin of different types of cultured human cells in vitro using a 3D printer that biological ink are composed of living cells in suspension in a liquid and made into a cartridge; it is expelled by a laser. This substance contains different types of cells: fibroblasts, keratinocytes and melanocytes which constitute the epidermis. 3D printing skin facilitates manufacture of a more complex model incorporating secondary human skin and anexal structures to achieve a breakthrough in our understanding of human skin as an organ, allowing the graft engineering in treatment of various skin diseases and burn patients.
