Electrospider
The multiscale and multimaterial 3D bioprinting platform
What is Electrospider
Electrospider is an innovative technology of biofabrication that allows to deposit fibers in space in a controlled way, to print 3D structures using microextrusion of multimaterials, combining electrospinning and microextrusion.
Moreover, it is able to generate 3D cellular constructs having the complex topology of human tissues.
Bio3Dprinting is the owner patents that protect the offered technology at national (IT10201800005065), international (WO2019IB53625) and european level (EP20190727513).
How does it work
Electrospider has been conceived to combine in a single platform of 3D bioprinting micro-extrusion, solution and melt electrospinning and ink-jet technology in order to process a wide range of biomaterials both on micro and on nano scale, in a single printing process.
In addition, it has been designed to be customizable with a variety of accessory features able to meet the needs of the end user.
Fields of application
Medical
Electrospider can bioprint patient-specific 3D cellular constructs to create in vitro models of diseases (e.g., oncological and neurodegenerative diseases) that can be useful for studying their pathogenesis and earlier determining the most effective therapeutic approach.
Pharmacological and cosmetic research
Electrospider give the chance to biofabricate cell-lade and patient specific cell-laden 3D constructs as testing environments for new drugs or cosmetics that are superior and more physiologically relevant compared to the 2D countermodels, faster, cost-effective, and closer to humans than the conventional in vivo tests.
Artificial organs
Elecrtospider, being enable the 3D bioprinitng organs starting from patient cells, can be used by clinicians as potential technology approach to meet the demand of organs for critical human organ transplantation case.
