LUMEN FAB
Discover the next generation of precision and performance in desktop light-based bioprinting with the all-new Lumen Fab.
Tight Temperature Control
Work with a wider than ever range of materials or focus on studying the thermal properties of a single material by setting the temperature anywhere between room temperature and 60 °C.
Grayscale Printing
Accurately tune the stiffness of your material and create biomechanical gradients on demand to capture the finer details of in vivo biology.
Designed for live cell printing
The new tight temperature control, a smooth printing mechanism, and sterility across the printing workflow, join together to increase cell viability. The autoclavable build platform has increased reusability without compromising on sterility.
Modular build platforms
With an expanded range of build platforms, print a variety of model sizes and materials with ease and say goodbye to unnecessary waste of photoinks.
Precise and complex printing
An intuitive software combined with high feature resolution and optimized photoinks makes working on organ-on-a-chip models and developing microfluidic chips an effortless experience.
Consistent prints - every time
With a uniform distribution of intensity across the entire build platform, the LUMEN Fab Gen 3 ensures consistent crosslinking of photoinks independent of position. Levelling up the ability for array printing.
Redefining excellence in light-based bioprinting
Creating life, layer by layer.
Printing mechanism, simplified for you
The Material
A PEEK-like resin, designed for producing cell culture–compatible parts with high mechanical strength, is an example of a material that can be used as an input in the Lumen Fab bioprinter.
Further examples of applicable resins are listed below.
The Printing
A light source projects a series of images as a slideshow onto the resin vat. The illuminated regions of the droplet solidify and bond together, forming a uniform layer. The build platform then moves upward, allowing the next layer to be formed on top of the previous one.
Key Applications
01
Microfluidics
Creating Complex Microfluidic Structures
With high precision and clarity, Lumen Fab enables the fabrication of complex microfluidic structures with accurate geometries for fluid control. Users can work directly with cells or incorporate them later. Lumen Fab eliminates lengthy casting processes, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for reproducible microfluidics.
02
Material development
Create your own custom materials with ease
The LUMEN Fab offers users the flexibility to design and implement their own materials without any complicated workarounds or hidden costs, enabling the development of materials with unique properties and innovative applications in tissue engineering. With precise control over critical factors like temperature, exposure times, and intensity, researchers can better understand and optimize the behavior of their materials.
03
Tissue Engineering
Addressing challenges in tissue engineering
By supporting DLP technology, Lumen Fab enables researchers to overcome one of the oldest challenges in bioprinting — the creation of complex vascular networks. By integrating grayscale printing for the first time, Lumen Fab delivers unprecedented capabilities in replicating in vivo–like conditions.
04
Drug Development
Gaining deeper insights & reducing costs
Lumen Fab elevates our ability to evaluate the efficacy of drug candidates. With grayscale printing enabling multi-stiffness structures and larger build volumes, creating tissue constructs that accurately mimic healthy or diseased tissues has never been easier. These models are fully prepared to receive compounds for early-stage drug screening.
