ASME and ARMI Discuss 3D Bioprinting

Another bioprinting-based webinar will also take place on the 23rd, this one starting at 1 pm EST and focused on regenerative medicine. The Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) and the American Society of American Engineers (ASME) are collaborating on the webinar, titled “3D Bioprinting: Closing the Gap between Structure & Function in Biofabrication,” which will highlight the bioprinting technology developed by FluidForm and Carnegie Mellon University, called Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels, or FRESH, 3D bioprinting. This technology could potentially revolutionize tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting, as it can fabricate high-resolution, high-fidelity soft biomaterials in complex geometries.

“Panelists will describe how FRESH has been leveraged to bioprint functional tissues that have significant implications for developing clinically-relevant regenerative therapies in various tissue types. The panel will then discuss the future of additive manufacturing in biomedical research and how interdisciplinary research will be critical to the advancement of biofabrication.”
