EnvisionTEC’s 3D Bioplotter® Family

The 3D-Bioplotter® System is a suitable 3D Bioprinter for processing a great variety of biomaterials within the process of Computer Aided Tissue Engineering from 3D CAD models and patient CT data to the physical 3D scaffold with a designed and defined outer form and an open inner structure.

Tissue Engineering and Controlled Drug Release require 3D scaffolds with well defined external and internal structures. The 3D-Bioplotter® has the capacity of fabricating scaffolds using the widest range of materials of any singular Rapid Prototyping machine, from soft hydrogels over polymer melts up to hard ceramics and metals. The 3D-Bioplotter® is specially designed for work in sterile environments in a laminar flowbox, a requirement of Biofabrication, for example when using alginate cell suspensions for scaffold construction. In contrast to other Rapid Prototyping techniques, the 3D-Bioplotter® uses a very simple and straightforward technology, invented and developed at the Freiburg Materials Research Centre in Germany.

The 3D-Bioplotter® Bioprinter Comes in Two Versions

Anatomically Correct Medical 3D Printed Models Here

Replica 3DM

3D Printed Anatomically Correct Patient Customized Medical Models
NOW commercially available in Puerto Rico through Rich Port 3D Solutions

medical 3d

 

Rich Port 3D Solutions is proud to be the first to make 3D printed anatomically correct patient customized medical models available to the Puerto Rican Medical Community. Rich Port 3D Solutions is the sole distributor of Replica 3Dm’s highly respected medical models.

What are medical models? A medical model is an exact replica of a patient’s diseased organ or bones.

Exact replica models or medical models can help with:

  • pre‐operative planning
  • pre‐operative plate bending
  • surgery practice
  • surgical guide planning
  • and surgical team planning

Medical Models also assist the surgeon(s) in

  • understanding the operational procedures to higher degree
  • creating smaller more accurate incisions which in turn assist patient recovery times
  • reduce surgery times significantly

Medical Models usually pay for themselves many times over.

Contact us today to see how our models can help you help your patients.

3D Printing Prosthetics: Precise, Customizable and Affordable

prototype of 3d prostethiic

3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing is making great strides in the medical field. However there has been no greater impact from the “3D home printing community” in the medical field as there has been with prosthetics. There are already several examples of so called novices taking to the CAD software and designing a 3D printed prosthetic at a fraction of the cost of established prosthetics. The problem at the moment is that they are not very appealing to look at. They resemble something that was designed by child.

All that is beginning to change. The field of 3D printed prosthetics is now being addressed by engineers that have a firm grasp on design principles and esthetics. A company by the name of Exo-Prosthetic claims to have streamlined the manufacturing process. And the result is a precise, customizable, affordable and most of all appealing prosthetic. The beauty lies in the appearance but the strength come from the titanium construction.

3D metal printing is on the forefront of the 3D innovation. Future development in metal printing will ensure more affordable and beautiful prosthetics in the future.
