"With advances in 3D bioprinting and material science, we can finally move beyond implants made from legacy industrial materials toward living, regenerative solutions."
The additive manufacturing pioneer partnered with French MedTech company TISSIUM to develop a bespoke 3D printing solution with a unique photopolymer for the repair of damaged peripheral nerves.
Xell has been designed to make volumetric bioprinting 'accessible to every lab' and is being made available at a starting price of 20,EUR, with a 59% academic discount being offered between now and the end of the year.
The five-month mission includes several investigations sponsored by the ISS National Laboratory and form part of hundreds of space-based research projects taking place on the ISS that are thought to benefit life back on Earth.
German 3D printing company xolo has announced a co-branding agreement with Rousselot which will see the former integrate the latter's X-Pure GelMA solution into its bioinks for volumetric 3D printers.
TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies visits Copner Biotech to learn more about their bioprinting machinery and a 3D printing-enabled cell culture scaffold.
The study between the additive manufacturing pioneer and regenerative medicine company will start with 200cc commercial-sized regenerative implants printed on a Stratasys Origin 3D printer.
The funding round was backed by Oshen Holdings, DSW Ventures, SFC Capital, Boundary Capital and private investors, which is said to include several leading scientists and surgeons.
TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies speaks to Tangible Industries co-founders Nicholas Jacobson and Jordan Lewis about the company's ability to provide 3D printed models that can prepare surgeons for the most complex procedures.
