Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a bioprinter capable of printing an object having biological components. In some embodiments, the bioprinter includes a modular print bed having a recessed area configured to receive a variable insert and a printer head positioned above the modular print bed. In some embodiments, the printer head has a cartridge for receiving and holding a biomaterial, and an extruder configured to extrude biomaterials from the cartridge onto a portion of the variable insert. The variable insert may include functional elements (e.g., heating, cooling, photocuring) and/or receiving elements (e.g., well plates).
