3D Systems and CollPlant Biotechnologies linked
As mentioned by, Chuck Hull, co-founder, and chief technology officer, 3D Systems, “is excited to work with CollPlant to develop groundbreaking bioprinted tissue and scaffold technologies. We believe 3D printing to be a key technology for regenerative medicine, and this collaboration is one of many we are entering to play an integral role in this exciting field. Combining our innovative 3D printing technologies with CollPlant’s rhCollagen based BioInks has the potential to make a significant impact in bioprinting and regenerative medicine. ”
As said by, “Yehiel Tal, CollPlant’s Chief Executive Officer, “CollPlant is very pleased to enter into this collaboration with ARMI and its network of partners from industry, academia, and the U.S. federal government. We all share the common goal of advancing 3D bioprinting and next-generation manufacturing of tissues and organs. We believe CollPlant’s BioInks, based on our rhCollagen, are the ideal building block for tissue and organ manufacturing, and we are proud to contribute our expertise and to advance the entire science and industry of bioengineering and manufacturing. CollPlant is honored to be a part of this network of industry leaders.”

The first 3D-printed human corneas
As reported by Experimental Eye Research, ” how stem cells (human corneal stromal cells) from a healthy donor cornea were mixed together with alginate and collagen to create a solution that could be printed, a ‘bio-ink’.
Using a simple low-cost 3D bio-printer, the bio-ink was successfully extruded in concentric circles to form the shape of a human cornea. It took less than 10 minutes to print.”
On the authority of Che Connon, Professor of Tissue Engineering at Newcastle University, who led the work, “Many teams across the world have been chasing the ideal bio-ink to make this process feasible.
Our unique gel – a combination of alginate and collagen – keeps the stem cells alive whilst producing a material which is stiff enough to hold its shape but soft enough to be squeezed out the nozzle of a 3D printer.
This builds upon our previous work in which we kept cells alive for weeks at room temperature within a similar hydrogel. Now we have a ready to use bio-ink containing stem cells allowing users to start printing tissues without having to worry about growing the cells separately.”
