Engineered tissues usually fall short of physiological cell densities and sizes, resulting in limited functional performance. Viability of large tissues is constrained by inadequate diffusion‐driven nutrient exchange. Methods to form large viable tissues are lacking and are constrained by diffusion‐driven nutrient exchange. Here, the use of the Bio‐Pick, Place, and Perfuse (Bio‐P3) is reported, an integrated biofabrication‐bioreactor platform that semiautomatically and rapidly assembles physiologically cell‐dense macrotissues with 100 million cells while being actively perfused. The Bio‐P3 grips, aligns, and stacks prefabricated, scaffold‐free microtissue parts with integrated lumens on a perfusable build‐platform. Parts spontaneously fuse into one continuous macrotissue with perfusable channels. Customizable microtissues are rapidly prepared up to centimeter‐scale with sustained functional performance. Computational models are developed and experimentally validated to elucidate the effects of perfusion rate and tissue geometry on convective nutrient transport in built macrotissues. It is shown that macrotissues constructed from human hepatocellular microtissues maintain geometry and function (albumin and urea secretion) over 5 days. The Bio‐P3 technology fabricates massive solid tissues with high cell numbers and densities to mimic human physiology for preclinical and clinical applications.
