In a traditional 3D printer, the ink is pushed through a nozzle using heat or high pressure, but Guda's printer doesn't use either of those mechanisms. The aspect that sets this device apart from other 3D printers is that it is capable of printing live cells without killing them. "We wanted to explore this new space in regenerative medicine since so many at UTSA have strengths in regenerative medicine." "There aren't very many organ printers of this caliber in the world owned by universities," Guda said. The device works similarly to a 3D printer and is now a part of the laboratory belonging to Teja Guda, assistant professor of biomedical engineering. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at San Antonio has acquired a rare piece of equipment that can print organic tissues and potentially regenerate organs. Currently, there is only oneĬommercial manufacturer of the 3D-Bioplotter Watches as the 3D-Bioplotter prints a model ofĪ human mandible.
