A good read, we are now bringing this text into the curriculum
As a surgical teacher for the past six-years, area such as bioprinting are exciting and pioneering. We are glad to include this text as part of our Masters in trauma surgery. Very well put together by so many great authors.

Great 3D printing in medicine book
This is a really great little handbook. Our hospital (Mayo Clinic) is looking to use bioprinting for future treatments and this book has filled in all those little questions that we all have. Really great content and well put together by Editors Thomas, Zessop and Whittiker. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about 3D Bioprinting.

Highly informative book
This is a nice little read and has been great to dip into. The chapter structure is a little confusing, but the book overall is a very good read.
