Project introduction:
The company is a high-tech start-up company headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was supported by the FAPESP Sao Paulo State Research Foundation PIPE Innovation Research Funding Program and won the 2024 Unicamp Inventor Award in the category of "Academic Derivative Enterprise".
The company's main business is to develop hardware and software solutions for 3D printing of semi-solid materials. Its core hardware product is +593 series 3D printer, which adopts aluminum alloy frame structure, high-precision linear guide rail system and slider, and is equipped with double 10ml disposable syringe extrusion head (NEMA17 motor, torque 5kgf·cm). The printing area is 100× 100mm, the heating platform temperature can reach 120°C, it supports 110/220V automatic dual voltage, and it is controlled by USB connection. The equipment can accurately print gel, hydrogel, ceramic slurry, ink, bio-ink and other pseudoplastic materials. The core software product is the self-developed BIOSCAFFOLDS, which is a Windows platform application. Users can quickly generate G codes by inputting parameters without 3D digital models, and send them directly to the printer for printing. At the same time, it supports special bio-printing scenes such as Petri dishes, cell culture plates and microscope slides.
The interdisciplinary founding team is deeply integrated with academic background, and the mechanical engineering background of the founder team is deeply integrated with the background of cell culture and tissue engineering, which enables the company to cover both engineering realization and biomedical application requirements. The products are widely used in tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, intelligent material printing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food printing and material science.
