초록/해제: 요약 :Despite the development of innovative medical technology, the treatment of end-stage organ failure patients is ultimately organ transplantation. For organ transplantation, bio-artificial organs and electronic artificial organs are being used, and the development of artificial blood vessels, artificial skin, artificial bladders, and artificial breasts is accelerating. For strict evaluation of the stability and reliability of these surgical implant materials, international standards commonly used worldwide are being used, and biomaterial output methods using 3D printers are also being actively developed.
