Abstract
Bio-Printing 3D organs, tissues & scaffolds is advancing everyday, with various methods being introduces to mimic a perfect working organ or tissue which can be functional at the same time. We have developed a method to print bio-polymer in liquid state using them as bio-inks to prints scaffolds, while maintaining their temperatures. The design is cheap and efficient to print 3d scaffolds. Our Bio-Printer is also aided with a robotic arm to induce any bio-active ingredient in the 3d structures once it is printed without deforming or altering the structure of the scaffold. The main printer can be paused to allow the robotic arm to continue embedding and make repairs to the scaffold from any angle.
