However, the hydrogel materials used for bioprinting are poorly understood, and there are currently no specific standards to ensure their printability and quality. This study systematically reviews existing standards related to the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and sterility of hydrogels and assesses their suitability for 3D bioprinting. The results show that while current standards provide a good starting point, they must be adapted to address the unique challenges of hydrogel bioprinting, such as cross-linking processes andrheological behavior. This study underscores the urgent need to develop new, customized standards to improve the printability, structural integrity, and safety of bioprinted materials. The aim is to propose an optimized framework for evaluating and enhancing hydrogel printability.  \nIndex Terms: Hydrogel, bioprinting, printability, optimization, scaffold  \n1. INTRODUCTION 3Dbioprinting allows the creation of  \ncomplex biological structures based on a digital CAD model through additive manufacturing processes [1, 2] . Currently, thereis a focus on establishing principles related to hydrogel bioprinting and finding consensus on criteria for evaluating print quality [3, 4] . Terms under discussion include printability, continuous extrudability, print accuracy [5], precision, microstructure [6], and structural integrity. Printability is a critical factor that evaluates the difference between the designed (CAD) and actual printed construction [1, 4] . It encompasses the mechanical properties of the ink, such as its ability to pass through the nozzle (rheology) and  \nManuscript received February 20, 2025.  \nThis work was supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency under contract No. APVV SK-CZ-RD- 21-0056 Bioresorbable materials for additive manufacturing of vessel substituents and their biomechanical characterization.

Printability involves the entire process from the programming phase (CAD design, choice of ink, slicing, g-code) to the construct's creation (printing parameters, cross-linking, etc. ) . The discrepancy between the designed and created object may be due to the extrudability of the printed bio-ink and/or the structural malleability and stability of the printed constructs. Shape fidelity refers to the degree to which the 3D-printed structure matches the size and spatial location of the original CAD model in terms of geometry [4] . Additive manufacturing using hydrogels is challenging due to the variable physicochemical behavior of the printing material. This study aims to propose a general procedural algorithm applicable to introducing a hydrogel biomaterial for critical print analysis in the field of 3D bioprinting.  \nHydrogels are increasingly important in various industries and impact growing multidisciplinary research fields [7], such as tissue [8] and biomedical engineering, regenerative medicine, and pharmaceutical applications.
