Organovo: The World's First Commercial 3D Human Tissue Bioprinter

Invetech Pty Ltd and Organovo, Inc

Imagine being able to print human tissues on demand. This was the inspiration for start-up company Organovo as they partnered with Melbourne based Invetech to build the world's first production 3D bioprinter.

For decades the goal of tissue engineers has been to advance beyond simple two dimensional cell cultures to creating three dimensional organs.

Within just nine months this partnership had solved engineering challenges that had confounded the biomedical industry for decades to design, develop, manufacture and ship the world's first
commercial 3D bioprinter.

The printer includes robotically controlled precision print heads and a computer-controlled, laser-based calibration system.
