Mini 3D Printer Inside the Body: Research Group Develops New Method

That 3D printing through an optical fiber is fundamentally possible was already demonstrated in the predecessor project "EndoPrint3D": An endoscopic bio-3D printer is intended to minimally invasively repair organ damage inside the body. For this purpose, a bio-photoresist is microfluidically applied directly to a damaged organ, and the extracellular matrix is printed on-site using two-photon lithography.
