Nowadays, 3D bioprinting is one of the fastest growing branches of modern regenerative medicine. Every day new solutions and materials appear on the market, which in the near future are to allow the production of tissue structures that save the life and health of humans and animals. As a result, facing the growing needs and in response to the inevitable progress in technology, we have developed a unique solution adapted to the dynamically changing world.

BioCloner 1.0 is ready to carry out production work using many working heads, and consequently we can use different materials in one process. Dedicated Calibration System guarantee accuracy of the printouts continuity. It is a vision solution that controls the actual position of the printing nozzle. In this way, every time when we change the print head, we can be sure that the next head will work in the same frame of reference as the previous one.

All processes, both manufacturing and supporting (cleaning of the printing nozzle, calibration, etc.) take place in an integrated space of increased cleanliness . BioCloner 1.0 has been designed and made to separate the drive systems of the machine from the working space as effectively as possible.

This solution, most of all aims to reducing undesirable access to any solid or liquid contaminants, such as grease or metal particles. In addition, increased cleanliness in the working space is ensured by bactericidal UV lamps and a horizontal air supply system based on HEPA filters. This allows to maintain an overpressure in the working space, which is an indirect barrier against excessive contamination of the working space.

The BioCloner 1.0 has an automated exchange heads system during the process. Thanks to that, there is possibility to get one printout which consist of many different materials in the form of granules, filament, gel or liquid.  The heads dedicated to device are described below.:

Our in house made software consists of several modules allowing work with printer in different stages – from design to manufacturing of the final product. 

A special application launches in the web browser, allows you to load a 3D model into virtual workspace, its modification and customization of the print parameters. As a result, we get a view of the model divide into layers and a generated g-code which making it possible to print the model. The application also allows you to remotely check the status of the device.   

To use innovative of mechanic and hardware solutions full, we develop  our own totally modifiable software that directly controls the operation of printers. Except that, on the stage of design is generated g-code, its also responsible for controlling the process of printing a previously prepared model. It is in charge of safety system which ensuring user safety work at the machine.
