Our instruments portfolio
CellInk BioX bioprinter
a complete standalone system that gives users great flexibility with exchangeable printheads and features. The BioX is capable of fabricating constructs containing any type of cells, enabling the fabrication of a wide range of tissue targets.
RX1 Bioprinter
a microfluidics-based bioprinter that empowers tissue regeneration by:
- rapidly switching and patterning – precise placement of cells and biomaterials;
- using fibers as building blocks – microfluidic printheads extrude hydrogel fibers that can mimic features and structure of native tissue;
- bioprinting multicellular structures – inclu sion of supporting cells, such as stromal or endothelial cells, can enhance the ability of a bioprinted therapeutic to promote tissue regeneration.
FormLab3B+ printer
able to print a variety of surgical instruments and medical devices.
This printer is suitable for:
- small to medium-sized parts requiring biocompatibility and sterilization compatibility;
- medical device prototypes, jigs, fixtures, molds, and end-use parts;
- custom anatomical models and surgical instruments for patients;
- visual aids for diagnostic and educational purposes;
- surgical planning models for diagnostic use within FDA-approved workflows;
- specialty materials research and development.
