3D printing will have an increasing range of applications in the future, including printing organic materials. One possibility is synthetic meat, to respond to concerns about the climate and ethical ramifications of meat production.

Another is 3D printing of tissue such as cartilage, bone or muscle, or potentially internal organs, for tailored human implants. Research on such implants is moving at a fast pace.
A Bioprinting Engineer will create viable tissue for human implants, using hardware and software associated with next generation 3D printers.

A Bioprinting Engineer will have strong engineering skills and STEM knowledge and will work in teams with biologists, medical specialists and software designers. They will have design skills and well-developed communication and interpersonal skills for effective teamwork
