notes on implication, characteristics and wonder of bio printing

1. MAGIC OF 3D PRINTING
KEY PLAYERS, WHAT IT MEANS AND THE FUTURE

2. 3D PRINTING
ECOSYSTEM
• Forward and reverse engineering
• CAD software
• Printers - MakerBot, Stratasys, 3D System
• Print Service - Shapeways
• Community - Thingiverse
Lack of Killer Apps for
Accelerated adoption

3. NIMBLE MANUFACTURING
Polyjet printing
Laser Engineered Net Shaping
Laminated object manufacturing
Stereolithography (SL)
Laser sintering (LS)
3DP
Types of Printing Future applications Implications
Bio-printing in “living ink”
Digital cuisine
Education
Arts and aesthetic
Green manufacturing
Custom Skull Implant
Good, faster and cheap
Lack econ of scale
Rapid prototyping
Customization
Into medical, dental, aerospace

4. BIOPRINTING WONDERS
Stem Cells as raw materials for printing
Plastic/
Metal
Stem
Cells
Industrial printing
Bioprinting
Stem cells can be pushed to
differentiate into any one of
approximate 210 cell types in
human body.
