Day 1: 3D (bio)printing technologies, from segmentation to G-code
- Introduction to the course, presentation of the program and of the students who will illustrate their projects, the pros and cons related to the field of bioprinting.
- General overview on 3D bioprinting.
- Fundamentals of 3D printing starting from the segmentation to the G-code (theoretical and practical session).

Day 2: Bio-ink formulation and printability
- Development phases of bio-ink to be used in the bioprinting field starting from the availability of materials, up to the choice of materials based on the application.
- Printability evaluation of selected bio-ink (theoretical and practical session).
|
 |
Day 3: Cells and read-out
- Design and development of an in vitro cellular model using mainly bioprinting techniques, starting from the generation of a cellular environment as close as possible to the physiological one (printing different types of cells) to laboratory measurements during cell cultures (theoretical and practical sessions).
- Read out: imaging techniques of biological structures within the bio-ink.

Day 4: Mechanical testing
- Mechanical testing (uniaxial test and naoindentation) of bio-ink and printed structures.
