Our Predictive Tool for Extrusion Based Bioprinting optimization is now online!

Extrusion-Based Bioprinting represents one of the most used Bioprinting technologies among researchers. Even though this technique has successfully been applied, there is still no consensus on which parameters have more influence on the accuracy of the printed structures. Here, we present a mathematical model for understanding the printability of a defined structure by depositing a given biomaterial ink through a precise EBB apparatus. The model takes into account different steps of the printing process, including extrusion, line formation and scaffold stabilization over time.
