With the continuous progress of science and technology, 3D printing technology is more and more widely used in various fields, especially in the biomedical field. ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) wire, as a commonly used 3D printing material, is favored for its good mechanical properties, heat resistance and chemical stability. In recent years, the breakthrough process of ABS wire in bioprinting has attracted wide attention.

Biopriting is a method of using 3D printing technology to manufacture biological tissues or organs, the core of which is to stack cells, biological materials and growth factors in accordance with specific structures, and finally form tissues or organs with biological functions. The application of ABS wire in bioprinting is mainly reflected in its use as a supporting material.

In the bioprinting process, the structure of the tissue or organ often requires some support to maintain its shape and stability. Traditional support materials may cause damage to cells during the removal process, affecting the biological function of the printed tissue. ABS wire, due to its good solubility, can be removed by a simple dissolution process after printing, greatly reducing the risk of cell damage. This feature makes ABS wire stand out in the choice of bioprinting support materials.

In addition, the biocompatibility of ABS wire is also one of the important reasons for its wide application in the bioprinting field. ABS wire can be better combined with biomaterials and promote cell adhesion and growth by surface modification treatment. This not only improves the biological function of bioprinted tissue, but also opens up new possibilities for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

In terms of research, many research teams at home and abroad have carried out relevant research on ABS wire in bioprinting, and made a series of breakthrough progress. For example, a research team used ABS wire as a support material to successfully print a tissue-engineered scaffold with a complex blood vessel structure. This achievement not only shows the great potential of ABS filament in biopraying, but also provides a new idea for the future realization of personalized tissue and organ manufacturing.

Although ABS wire has made a certain breakthrough in the field of bioprinting, there are still some challenges. For example, how to further improve the biocompatibility of ABS wire and how to optimize the printing parameters to improve the biological function of printed tissue still need to be further studied and solved. It is believed that with the continuous progress of science and technology, these problems will be gradually solved, and the application prospect of ABS wire in the bioprinting field will be broader.

In short, the breakthrough process of ABS wire in bioprinting has brought new hope for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology, the application of ABS wire in the bioprinting field will be more extensive and make greater contributions to the development of human health.
