BioScaffolder 3.1
Customizable platform for Bioprinting
The BioScaffolder 3.1 get's your cells in shape!
The instrument prints a lot of biocompatible materials. Learn how to evolve your petri dish cell culture into an artificial piece of bone or skin.
At a Glance
The BioScaffolder 3.1 is a modular instrument platform with up to four independent z-axes for tool operation.
Standard:
- Pneumatic Extruders (Optionally heated) for dispensing high-viscous/ pasty materials
Options:
- Pipetting unit (Low-viscous liquid handling with pipet tips or piezoelectric Nanoliter dispenser)
- Piezoelectric dispense valves for high-viscous materials
- Melt Electrospinning
- Syringe Extruders
- Cameras
- Exposition Lamps for Curing and UV-Hardening
- Trays for target objects, e.g. cell culture plates
- Software for Import of STL data
The Scaffold Generator of the BS3.1 software creates print maps for the BS3.1 without external CAD programs.
Basic geometric figures can be selected and parametrized. Stacking up of these basic figures allows more complex structures.
The interface between the Scaffold Generator and the instrument is based on Gcode.
The BS3.1 instrument adapts to your application as well as to your budget!
Pneumatic Extrusion
Computers, Cartridges and Pressurized Air: The heart of each BS3.1
BS3.1 comprises an external “F-Box” (Right picture) managing the media supply and removal for the instrument. Furthermore it contains the control computer of the instrument.
The basic pneumatic extruder allows individual pressure settings. BS3.1 supports 10 ml and 30ml cartridges.
Pressure ranges from 0 to 7 bar.
Tools & Calibration
Many Tools, Different Materials
Biomaterials of very different consistencies require very different tools (sizes) but need to be printed into one structure.
On top of this, any 3D printer works only when the first layer is well aligned to the building platform.
The BS3.1 comes with optical and mechanical calibration tools for the automatic offset compensation between the tools and the ground level.
The only things you have to do is load your material, find the right pressure for extrusion and create your model.
Then you are just a few mouse clicks away from your ready printed scaffold.
BS3.1 combines different tools for building 3D structures with several materials
