Chinese researchers have successfully developed 3D printers that can produce large-scale human tissue, including skin, cartilage and liver, according to a reporter in Beijing.

According to Regenovo, the mass production of medical materials as well as the quality and safety of the products are two mandatory requirements in this field.

Although 3D printing for medical purposes is relatively common in the market, many 3D printers are often too slow to fit into mass production requirements. Create products that meet rigorous standards.

The Regenovo 3D printer, which is 1.6 meters wide, 1 meter wide, 1.9 meters high, is equipped with various nozzles, and can produce a variety of biological materials. compared to other machines on the market today.

Different parts of this printer can adjust its own temperature, from minus 20 degrees Celsius to 260 degrees Celsius, to ensure the function and viability of the cell.

In addition, this printer also has an infrared laser scanner with precision to the micron level (1 micron equivalent to 1 / 1,000 millimeter - PV) so it is possible to check the quality of the internal structure of the product. in the printing process.

Regenovo claims the new 3D printer will be used in the field of medicine for mass production and artificial.

These tissues and organs can also be used to test new drugs.
