The current printing resolution is limited, and tiny structures and details are difficult to realize, so that the application of the printing resolution in certain application fields is limited.
3) Lack of standardization and specification: due to the rapid development of biological 3D printing technology, there is a lack of unified standards and specifications, leading to variability between different laboratories and manufacturers. This makes the reproducibility and comparability of the results difficult and limits further application and commercialization of the technology.

s3: the control system instructs the air supply device to operate, and acquires pressure data in the syringe tank (10) and compares the pressure data with set parameters:
a) If the pressure measurement data is within the set range, the control system instructs the air supply equipment to control the pressure of the needle cylinder groove (10), and then printing is started;
b) If the pressure measurement data is outside the set range, the control system instructs the air supply device to regulate the pressure of the syringe groove (10), and printing is started after the measurement data is stabilized within the set range.
10. A control method according to claim 9, characterized in that the operation setting program of the robot arm (11) comprises path planning, movement speed and dwell time of the robot arm (11).
