Engineers in the Biofabrication & Tissue Morphology group have developed a series of low cost and highly adaptable 3D printers for use in biofabrication research. Driven by the need for more versatile and modular 3D printing equipment for use in a range of biomaterial 3D printing projects, the research team have published their findings in a series of papers describing the design and fabrication of novel systems.
