"BioScaffolder"
   
System-Solution for manufacturing of customised three dimensional tissue scaffolds / patient specific implants with defined external shape and internal architecture (three dimensional distribution of porosity and material) from multiple biomaterials based on 3D-dispensing.
   
System-components:
Technology platform 3-axis dispensing system with automatic tool changing functionality
Modules
 
• High temperature dispense head (RT - 230°C) for medium to high viscous biomaterials like silicones, slurries, thermoplastic biopolymers etc.
• Low temperature dispense head (RT; 2°C - 45°C) for low to medium viscous biomaterials like hydrogels, silicones etc.
• Temperature controlled dispense platform (RT; 2°C - 45°C; RT - 100°C)
• 2 1/2 D CAD/CAM-software for
    • import of 3D-files (STL) of the tissue scaffold / implant
    • definition of the internal architecture (three dimensional distribution of the interconnective porosity and the materials)
    • calculation of the dispensing path
    • Generation of the NC-code for dispense system control
