The Cell Biology 3D Printers, designed by Yu Tan and Xiongfei Zheng, are innovative medical devices that revolutionize the field of bio-printing. The design concept is inspired by the integration of cells, with the fuselage divided into three sections, allowing for diverse combinations of 3D cells. This design has the potential to advance the development of the entire biomedical industry.
What sets these 3D printers apart is their complete isolation of the "print" area and mechanical system. The product features a built-in HEPA filter system and an innovative 365 nm wavelength UV sterilization system, ensuring a sterile environment for printing. Additionally, the interior design enables positive pressure air circulation, preventing contamination from entering the printer. These unique properties make the Cell Biology 3D Printers stand out in the market.
The technical specifications of the Cell Biology 3D Printers are 946mm x 780 mm x 1920 mm, providing a compact and efficient solution for bio-printing needs. The design team, consisting of Yu Tan, Xiongfei Zheng, Heran Wang, and Peitong Li, worked diligently to overcome various challenges during the development process.
Operating the Cell Biology 3D Printers is a straightforward process. The model is created by professionals, and the required biological model is obtained. In the upper sterile laboratory, the biological cell printing materials are cultured and transmitted directly to the low-temperature molding box, where they are printed according to the provided model.
The Cell Biology 3D Printers project started in August 2018 and was completed in January 2019. Since then, these printers have been listed and sold all over the world, contributing to advancements in the field of bio-printing.
The design of the Cell Biology 3D Printers is backed by extensive research. The team conducted market research, product analysis, and pain point analysis to identify areas for improvement. The insights gained from this research have led to further optimization of the product.
Recognized for its excellence, the Cell Biology 3D Printers received the Iron A' Design Award in the Medical Devices and Medical Equipment Design category in 2019. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Cell Biology 3D Printers are respected for integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, contributing to a better world.
