Abstract: As an advanced biomanufacturing strategy based on additive manufacturing principles, bioprinting enables the precise deposition of cells and biomaterials, providing a powerful tool for constructing complex three-dimensional biological structures. This review systematically summarizes the fundamental principles and limitations of conventional bioprinting techniques, including droplet-based, extrusion-based, and light-assisted approaches, and highlights recent advances in high-throughput bioprinting aimed at improving printing speed, parallel capacity, and automation. Furthermore, we discuss the critical applications of high-throughput bioprinting in organoid construction, such as enabling standardized and scalable production, recapitulating complex multicellular architectures, and dynamically regulating microenvironments, thereby significantly enhancing the biomimicry and reproducibility of organoids. Finally, we outline the major challenges—such as multimodal detection, the lack of standardized protocols, and the development of bioinks—and provide a forward-looking perspective on future directions, offering important insights for the clinical translation and industrialization of organoid technologies.
