Abstract

Purpose

–

Aims to provide information on organism manufacturing engineering (OME), a newly proposed interdisciplinary research area.

Design/methodology/approach

–

A conceptual discussion and approach are taken.

Findings

–

OME is based on layer‐by‐layer RP principles and the integration of the new advancement of manufacturing science, biomaterials, cell molecular biology and developmental biology. OME aims to construct live tissues and organs through controlled assembly of 3D cell structure with the principles and methods of modern manufacturing science and life science.

Originality/value

–

Focuses on important processes for indirect and direct cell assembly using OME approaches.
