Bio-ink properties have been extensively studied for use in the three-dimensional (3D) bio-printing process for tissue engineering applications. In this study, we developed a method to synthesize bio-ink using hyaluronic acid (HA) and sodium alginate (SA) without employing the chemical crosslinking agents of HA to 30% (w/v). Furthermore, we evaluated the properties of the obtained bio-inks to gauge their suitability in bio-printing, primarily focusing on their viscosity, printability, and shrinkage properties. Furthermore, the bio-ink encapsulating the cells (NIH3T3 fibroblast cell line) was characterized using a live/dead assay and WST-1 to assess the biocompatibility. It was inferred from the results that the blended hydrogel was successfully printed for all groups with viscosities of 883 Pa∙s (HA, 0% w/v), 1211 Pa∙s (HA, 10% w/v), and 1525 Pa∙s, (HA, 30% w/v) at a 0.1 s−1 shear rate. Their structures exhibited no significant shrinkage after CaCl2 crosslinking and maintained their integrity during the culture periods. The relative proliferation rate of the encapsulated cells in the HA/SA blended bio-ink was 70% higher than the SA-only bio-ink after the fourth day. These results suggest that the 3D printable HA/SA hydrogel could be used as the bio-ink for tissue engineering applications.
