A hackable, multi-functional, and modular extrusion 3D printer for soft materials
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a powerful tool for material, food, and life science research and development, where the technology’s democratization necessitates the advancement of open-source platforms. Herein, we developed a hackable, multi-functional, and modular extrusion 3D printer for soft materials, nicknamed Printer.HM. Multi-printhead modules are established based on a robotic arm for heterogeneous construct creation, wh…
An international team of scientists has managed to print in 3D functional human pancreatic islets, a milestone that could radically change the way type 1 diabetes is treated. Under the direction of Dr. Quentin Perrier, this group has overcome one of the greatest challenges of bioprinting: keeping these delicate cellular structures alive and functional. What are pancreatic islets and why are they important? Langerhans islets are small groups of c…
An international team of scientists, led by Wake Forest University in the United States,* has taken a big step forward in diabetes research by successfully printing 3D functional human islets using a novel biotinta. As presented at the ESOT 2025 Congress (held in London, UK), this new technology could pave the way for more effective and less invasive treatment options for people with type 1 diabetes (DT1). The breakthrough was the printing of hu…
