Abstract

3D Bio-printer is said to have potential in the applications of medical studies and tissue engineering. A 3D Bio-printer could be used to print the artificial organs for organs transplant and cell tissue culture for generating new cell tissue. It could help in future medical and biological research. This paper presents a full process on the development of the 3D Bio-printer. The 3D Bio-printer is designed based on Core XY Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). It is customized in size and the extruder is specially developed for a syringe pump. It could print 3D Bio-model accordingly as designed in a computer aid design (CAD) software.
