3D printer for low temperature & Bioprinting – Brinter™
– Pressure/piston extrusion low temperature 3D printing
– for bioinks, gels, suspensions (particles, fibers etc. as solid phase),
combination of fibers and gels, printing of ceramics etc.
– Extrusion screw with heating
– for polymer granules, composites etc. (small scale → suitable for
expensive medical applications)
– Axis movement area (XYZ): 1 = 30x30x10 mm, camera for online process
view, photo-curing LEDs, temperature-controlled printer bed, modular tools
for different types of extrusion
