PROJECT / CORNEAL REGENERATION

KeratOPrinter — precision biofabrication for corneal regeneration.

Developing a controlled multi-process platform for full-thickness, native-like corneal grafts.

KeratOPrinter project overview
KERATOPRINTER

Combining structure, living materials and precision deposition.

KeratOPrinter brings together an engineered support structure, cell-laden bioinks and laser-assisted bioprinting to develop full-thickness corneal grafts.

The manufacturing sequence combines multiple process steps and materials in one controlled workflow, from the supporting structure and bioink loading to precise layer-by-layer deposition and material exchange.

OUR ROLE

Engineering the platform around the biofabrication process.

AM Technologies by Brinter contributes the manufacturing technology and system integration needed to bring the specialised process steps into a common platform architecture.

The work includes integration of laser-assisted deposition and multi-material processing so the manufacturing platform can support precise, repeatable handling of the different functional layers required by the application.

FROM RESEARCH TOWARD TRANSLATION

Build control into the process from the beginning.

KeratOPrinter is a strong example of application-driven manufacturing development: the biological objective defines the process, the process defines the platform, and repeatability, material handling and future translation requirements are considered as the system matures.
