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, Mechanical testing
- 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)
- Mechanical testing of bio-ink and printed structures (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: Computational modelling
- Computational modeling to stimulate to stimulate (bio)printing process and to predict the mechanical response of (bio)printed structures (theoretical and practical session)
|
 |
Day 5: Scientific workshop
- “Bioengineering for the biofabrication” is the theme of the scientific workshop; during the day students will present their research project.
- The workshop will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
