"Imagine being able to print human tissues on demand"

[barryqwalsh]

The printer includes two robotically controlled precision print heads: one for placing human cells, the other for placing a hydrogel, scaffold, or support matrix. One of the most complex challenges in the development of the bio-printer was to perfect a means to consistently position the cell dispensing capillary tip attached to the print head within microns. Invetech developed a computer-controlled, laser-based calibration system to achieve the required repeatability.
