Bioprinting Winter School 2022 – From printing set-up to laboratory analysis
BioP School 2022Bioprinting Winter School provides the basic principles related to 3D (bio)printing both from a theoretical and practical point of view.
Starting from the main 3D printing techniques overview, we move on to the design of “on-demand” biomaterials, suitable for incorporating biological components, up to the development of a cellular model.
The practical sessions (CAD design, stl export, slicing, bioprinting, and characterization of the printed constructions) will help students solve problems encounter during daily laboratory and research activities.
COURSE LOCATION
The course was held at the University of Pavia, Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture in via Ferrata, 3 – Pavia.
