Applied bioprinting challenges are very broad, spanning equipment to applications and all of the physical and biochemical sciences in-between. What do you consider to be the biggest or most important challenge of bioprinting today?
Hey Cory, yes this is a very broad topic.
Check out this recent article on challenges and how groups are working together to solve them.

Christen Boyer , thanks for the great references! With a background in microbiology, biological engineering and biomass processing, your response prompted me to research and I found a review with some more focus:

At Cellink do you use biomass, petrochemical or fine specialty chemicals as feedstocks for bio inks?
Hey Cory, we have a variety of bioinks. Some are based on nano-cellulose, alginate, collagen, and gelatin.
See the full list of bioinks here.

Dear Cory,
Couple of basic challenges are observed with 3D bioprinter are;
1. Weak in higher resolution and speed and so this is deprived in performance to enable better interaction and control in the 3D microenvironment.
2.Availability of natural bio-link, hence cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation are not sufficiently enabled.
3. Non-availability of scaffold material which is essential for differentiation and interaction .
4.No appropriate vascular system and so beyond the thickness tissue may not develop properly.
