The capacity to print biological matter will fundamentally change laboratory work over the next years – just as personal computers changed office work. Together with Cellbricks we are constructing a 3D-printing system which researchers can use to develop and print biological models and conduct experiments anywhere in the world.
Intuity has developed a 3D tissue printer for Cellbricks – Hardware, Software and User Interface – with a particularly high resolution and the capacity to print different types of cells. This makes it possible to produce even the fine vascular structures which are necessary for organs and tissues. With this printer, Cellbricks is capable of printing three-dimensional living tissue which grows through cell division. Some mini-organs can already be cultivated for several months. The highly professional BioPrinter features an intuitive user interface which enables professional tissue printing in just a few steps and makes the process visually tangible.
