EnvisionTEC’s 3D-Bioplotter System is a suitable 3D Bioprinter for processing a great variety of biomaterials within the process of Computer Aided Tissue Engineering from 3D CAD models and patient CT data to the physical 3D scaffold with a designed and defined outer form and an open inner structure.  Tissue Engineering and Controlled Drug Release require 3D scaffolds with well-defined external and internal structures. The 3D-Bioplotter has the capacity of fabricating scaffolds using the widest range of materials of any singular Rapid Prototyping machine, from soft hydrogels over polymer melts up to hard ceramics and metals. The 3D-Bioplotter is specially designed for work in sterile environments in a laminar flow box, a requirement of Biofabrication. As an example, the Bioplotter is designed for use when using alginate cell suspensions for scaffold construction. In contrast to other Rapid Prototyping techniques, the 3D-Bioplotter uses a very simple and straightforward technology, invented and developed at the Freiburg Materials Research Centre in Germany.

Description

Product Information

FeatureBenefit
User-friendly interface. Allows users to both share projects, materials and patterns, as well as have their own separate set of files for improved overview and security.
Input of outer shapes through STL files.Leverages industry-wide standard file formate for ease of use.
Automatic tool changer and multiple print heads.Capabile of multi-part and multi-materials.
Generation of volume support structures for complex shapes.Improved productivity and ease of use.
Database of inner patterns (user-editable) in the controlling software.Avoids the requirement to include patterns in STL files.
Complex inner pattern with straight lines, zig-zag shapes and wave forms as well as hexagon shapes, including shift functions.Enables “in between the lines” printing.
Database of materials (user-editable) with all process parameters.Provides maximum flexibility for users.
Material life time control.Avoids scaffold fabrication with degraded materials.
