Novel bioprinter aims to bring cheaper and more accessible 3D printing

Bioprinting start-up Brinter (Turku, Finland) has developed a new entry-level 3D printer named “Brinter Core” that is less costly and 50% smaller than its predecessor, paving the way for more accessible bioprinting for researchers and manufacturers alike.  The 3D printing market has accelerated quickly over recent years as technological, material and methodological advances have opened up new realms of possibilities for 3D printing uses, such as personalized cancer treatments or the printing of human “spare parts” such as livers, kidneys or even hearts. However, the high cost of 3D printing has proven to be a substantial hinderance to many scientific institutions in the past.  The “Brinter Core” 3D printer may help to provide a solution to this issue,...
