BIOPRINTING
A CHANGE IS COMING. ARE YOU READY?
WHO ARE WE
We are the first start-up to merge advanced electric, magnetic, & microfluidic 3D biofabrication technology with novel cyborganic technology to create high throughput tissues & organs with embedded bioelectronics, biosensors, and therapeutic agents.
We go beyond bioprinting to establish next generation applications in regenerative medicine, medical devices, & human-machine interfaces.
OUR VISION
We believe that increasing the number of advanced hybrid technologies available for commercial use will set the new quality benchmark of biofabricated products and unlock new, more complex applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Novel applications include cyborganics, biomechatronics, biosensors, biorobotics, and human-machine interfaces.
OUR MISSION
By developing and supplying up-to-date, cutting-edge technologies in biofabrication and tissue engineering, we want to offer complete, standardized processes to our customers and make the field of biofabrication more accessible to any working professional with a vision. We empower researchers, developers and producers in various promising fields, thus facilitating their journey from the lab benchtop to the market.
