Low-temperature print bed module
This module enables control of the print bed temperature at a level lower than ambient temperature.
Automatic calibration module
The accuracy and speed of preparing the bioprinter are two key factors in the success of bioprinting, especially when printing complex geometries. When using multiple print modules, manual calibration of the device is a tedious task. The automatic calibration module performs all tasks related to device preparation, calibration, and adjustments automatically.
Electrospinning module
Electrospinning is one of the oldest and most widely used methods in tissue engineering, enabling researchers to produce nanofibers with very small diameters. However, limited precision in microfiber placement and inherent constraints in fabricating true three-dimensional tissues have led to reduced emphasis on this technique in modern tissue engineering. By using the Melt Electrowriting module, the advantages of electrospinning and bioprinting can be integrated within a single system. This approach compensates for the limitations of conventional electrospinning and enables the bioprinter to fabricate extremely fine and highly precise tissue structures. The use of Omid Afarinan’s high-temperature module alongside this module is recommended.
Imaging module
The imaging module enables capturing images of the printed structure during and after bioprinting. This module allows examination of the printed structure without removing it from the print environment, thereby increasing the speed and quality of structure printing. Unlike many European and American bioprinters, this module does not occupy the position of one of the print modules when installed, allowing the user to utilize all printer modules for material printing.
Coaxial printing module
By installing this module, coaxial printing from 2 to 4 cartridges mounted on the bioprinter becomes possible simultaneously.
Syringe printing module
This module is an ideal choice for printing low-viscosity materials. With precise pressure control, it reduces the shear stress applied to the bioink, thereby improving cell viability.
