EnvisionTec developer bioplotter
About
3D bioplotter capable for the manufacturing of biocompatible materials with the bioplotting 3D printing method, the manipulation of scaffolds and the 3D printing of living cells.
Description
An industrial type bioplotter with two heads, a hot and a cold one. The hot head is for scaffolds and other polymeric parts fabrication, while the cold head is for living cells parts fabrication, such as implants, etc. The produced parts are characterized by high accuracy and complex geometry. The list of materials that can be 3D printed with the device is long. It supports open-source materials in liquid (hydrogels), pellets, granules, powder form, etc. Materials such as pharmaceutical PCL, or the bone implants hydroxyapatite material can be 3D printed. The 3D bioplotter operates within an ISO 7 clean room ready for medical and healthcare applications.
