Extrusion-based 3DBP offers significant advantages for bone-tissue implants due to its high customizability. This study demonstrates that it is possible to create printable bone-like grafts from GelMA and HA with an increased HA content, favorable mechanical properties (145 kPa), and a greater than 80% cell viability.
