Smartphone-powered 3D printer to unlock point-of-care bioprinting

Researchers at the University of Otago Christchurch and Harvard Medical School have developed a smartphone-based DLP 3D printer with the aim of improving the accessibility of distributed medical manufacturing. Using a smartphone-powered projector, the team say that their ultra-portable printer is capable of polymerizing cell-laden bio-inks into “sophisticated tissue analogs.” The scientists have even created […]
