Researchers have developed a 3D bioprinter for cancer research that can be folded into a carry-on pack, transported, and easily reassembled for printing inside a biosafety cabinet. The technology can perform rapid and reproducible manufacture of complex tumouroids – 3D cell cultures which resemble tumour tissues – to test potential immunotherapy treatments.
Explore how assembly line automation integrates robotics, control systems, and smart technologies to boost efficiency, quality, and flexibility in manufacturing!
In this episode we talk about how researchers at EPFL have developed a new method of 3D printing bone-like composites using bacteria-infused ink. The process involves the use of hydrogel as a printing medium that provides a scaffold for bacterial growth, which produces calcium carbonate crystals that mimic the properties of bone.
Overhangs represent one of the biggest challenges for FDM 3D printers. Here we look at how to safely print them using support structures, bridging, and other techniques.
