\n3D printing enables objects of compl ex shapes to be directly assembled from digital models\, empowering the fr eedom of design & customization. More recently\, 3D printing has been also envisioned to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional manufacturin g techniques. This presentation will discuss my group’s recent work in 3 D printing and biofabrication for Soft/ Green/ Bio & Living materials at d ifferent length scales. I will show how these technologies can be applied in healthcare\, and how fibre printing can underpin future eco-friendly se nsor fabrication. Moreover\, how biofabrication may ultimately fulfil its potential to deliver in vitro disease models and engineered tissues will b e briefly considered.
