BIOprinting project

Achieve Precision and Innovation with Customized Bioprinting

Tailored solutions for advanced regenerative medicine research, empowering breakthroughs in cell-based therapies.

Project Overview

At FELIXprinters, we don’t just create 3D bioprinters; we create solutions. Built on the robust FELIX Pro desktop platform, our FELIX BIOprinter was developed in partnership with leading scientists as part of the EU-funded Training4CRM project. Designed to meet the complex requirements of regenerative medicine, our bioprinter offers extensive customization options, making it ideal for researchers looking to push the boundaries of neurodegenerative and cell-based therapies.

Why Customization Matters for Your Research

In developing the FELIX BIOprinter for the Training4CRM project, we tailored features to support neurodegenerative research, such as Parkinson’s disease treatments. Researchers needed custom temperature controls and syringe stability to ensure cell viability and precise material deposition. Through several prototypes, we optimized these features, demonstrating our ability to innovate for high-stakes scientific applications.

Key Customization Features of the FELIX BIOprinter

Our FELIX BIOprinter’s advanced design includes essential features built specifically for adaptability:

Innovative dual extrusion system

  • Dual material
    Use two materials simultaneously for complex tissue modeling. Print support structures with one print-head and cell-laden material with the other printhead.
  • Motorized extrusion
    Enables precise extrusion regardless of temperature and viscosity.
  • Syringe heating and cooling
    With a range from 4°C up to 75°C when printing at room temperature.

Open Syringe System

  • Quickly swap syringes

    Change between extruders and materials rapidly, taking only seconds.

  • Use standardized syringes

    The extruder features a smart adjustment mechanism, allowing it to accommodate luer lock syringes of different brands with capacities of 1ml and 5ml.

  • Material flow detection

    The printer has the capability to detect an empty syringe or a clogged nozzle, enabling it to automatically enter pause mode.

  • High extrusion force

    With an extrusion force of 350 Newton or 35 Kg, the printer empowers you to print with a diverse array of materials.

Bed Module

  • Fixing several sizes of petri dihes, well plates and slides
  • Temperature conrol within a range of 4°C up to 75°C

UV module

Some (BIO) materials require curing to ensure rigidity. The UV module offers the following functionalities:
  • The UV module is capable of curing UV-sensitive materials
  • It operates at a wavelength of 365nm
  • And has a power usage of 2W

Touchscreen interface

The printer hosts a powerful touchscreen, control the printer directly or via the convenient webinterface .
  • Intuitive interface
  • Manage print files
  • Monitor temperatures
  • Webcam
  • USB stick
  • Access via web browser

Webcam monitoring

The 2 MP webcam camera allows you to:
    • Follow the print process remotely via the web interface
    • Create timelapses
    • (Optionally) You can connect a USB microscope for research and scientific applications.

Collaborative Development: From Prototype to Product

Our work on the Training4CRM project required us to host researchers on-site, who provided invaluable feedback on real-time needs and equipment requirements. Together, we created prototypes that evolved into a widely available, reliable FELIX BIOprinter model, showcasing our ability to adapt and innovate for research-driven customization projects.

A Tool for Groundbreaking Research

The FELIX BIOprinter goes beyond traditional bioprinting. By allowing you to shape your bioprinter to meet exact specifications, FELIXprinters provides a research asset designed to support ambitious projects in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies.
