Biofabrication is defined as ”the automated generation of biologically functional products with structural organization from living cells, bioactive molecules, biomaterials, cell aggregates such as micro-tissue, or hybrid cell material constructs, through Bioprinting or Bioassembly and subsequent tissue maturation processes.” [Groll et al. 2016].
We are pleased to offer a comprehensive range of printing services, including the production of highly flexible micro-meshes of bioresorbable polycaprolactone, and a variety of commercial thermoplastics.
The laboratory specializes in the creation of scaffolds for in-vitro and in-vivo experiments from micro to macro scale. We place a significant emphasis on the creation of mechanically stable tissue structures through the convergens of different biofabrication technologies, such as FDM and melt electrowriting. Additionally, we possess considerable expertise in light-based printing technologies, which are capable of producing scaffolds from (biocompatible) hydrogels or commercial photopolymers.
