BioMotion Technologies | First modular bioprinter
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are waiting for the donor organ to save their lives and, sadly, we are far from meeting this need. Bioprinting aims to create cell-based 3D tissue models that behave like human body tissue.
Currently, it costs research institutes tens of thousands of euros and around four to six months to convert a single bioprinter. This is exactly the problem to be solved. The startup BioMotion Technologies, which was also part of the incubator at the Vienna University of Technology, has developed a cost-effective 3D bioprinter that reduces the time required for conversion from months to days. This highly modular bioprinter is intended to serve as an open R&D platform that can be quickly adapted to the needs of researchers. This structure ensures that future research questions that have not yet been asked can be answered.
