| Summary: | 3D printing is a promising technology that enables the creation of intricate structures with tailorable properties, successfully transforming various fields, particularly in medical science, healthcare, and biomaterial technologies. Recent studies have recognized microalgae as sustainable, renewable, and cost‐effective bioresources that can be utilized as bioinks for creating constructs with intriguing functionalities, such as oxygen‐generating scaffolds for tissue engineering, engineered living materials, and bioremediation. This review discusses the properties and applications of microalgae, presents an overview of the current 3D printing technology, and provides a comprehensive review of the recent advancements in 3D‐printed microalgae‐based constructs for diverse applications. Finally, the challenges that must be overcome to ensure the widespread applicability of these materials are discussed. This review is expected to inspire future exploration of the innate properties and compositions of microalgae in developing materials with transformative potential in biomedical and biotechnological sectors. |
