Three-dimensional (3D) printing using hydrogel has made great strides when it comes to mimicking 3D artificial tissue in the medical field. However, most structures do not mimic the dynamic movement of the tissues. Without imitating dynamic movements, there are limitations on the extent to which the proper implementation of the tissue's own functions can be achieved.
