3D Bioprinting

3D Systems’ additive manufacturing solutions are transforming how healthcare is delivered. We’ve produced more than 2,000,000 serial component medical devices and 140,000 patient-specific surgical cases. Now we’re leveraging this expertise to develop patient-specific functioning 3D-printed organs and tissues to improve patient lives. Our Print to Perfusion™ process enables 3D printing of high-resolution scaffolds, which can be perfused with living cells to create tissues. Through the combination of bioprinting technology, biocompatible 3D printing materials, and a broad range of cell types including patient-derived cells, we can construct patient-specific living tissues.

Driven by United Therapeutics Corporation and its organ manufacturing and transplantation-focused subsidiary, Lung Biotechnology PBC, we achieved significant progress in the development of next-generation bioprinting solutions for lung scaffolds that are capable of full-size, vascularized, rapid, micron-level printing. 3D Systems’ capabilities as a technology innovator, spanning hardware, software, and materials science, combined with United Therapeutics’ renowned expertise in organ manufacturing and regenerative medicine, has enabled advances in lung modeling, 3D printing, as well as material formulation and material handling to yield significant capabilities in bioprinters and biomaterials for the eventual production of transplantable lungs and other human solid organs.
