Additive manufacturing in tissue engineering has significantly advanced in acceptance and use to address complex problems. However, there are still limitations to the technologies used and potential challenges that need to be addressed by the community. In this manuscript, we describe how the field can be advanced not only through the development of new materials and techniques but also through the standardization of characterization, which in turn may impact the translation potential of the field as it matures. Furthermore, we discuss how education and outreach could be modified to ensure end-users have a better grasp on the benefits and limitations of 3D printing to aid in their career development.
组织工程中的增材制造在接受度和应用方面取得了显著进展，以解决复杂问题。然而，所使用的技术仍存在局限性，该领域仍需应对一些潜在挑战。在本手稿中，我们描述了该领域不仅可以通过开发新材料和技术，还可以通过表征的标准化来取得进展，而这反过来可能会影响该领域成熟时的转化潜力。此外，我们讨论了如何改进教育和推广，以确保最终用户更好地理解3D打印的优点和局限性，从而有助于他们的职业发展。
