Bioprinting company CELLINK and Made In Space are teaming up to jointly develop bioprinting technology for space.

 .

The cooperation will combine CELLINK’s bioprinting technologies and Made In Space’s knowledge of 3D printing in zero-gravity environments. Together, the companies hope to advance the emerging (and exciting) field of bioprinting in space.

 .

Unlike Made In Space’s Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF), which is installed aboard the International Space Station and is used primarily by astronauts to print components and devices for onboard use, bioprinting in space will mostly be used to explore and develop projects for use on Earth. That is, scientists are realizing that the microgravity environment of space can help to advance bioprinting research for applications here on Earth, such as drug screening and cancer research.

Made In Space’s AMF was the first commercial 3D printer deployed in space By working together, CELLINK and Made In Space will use their […]
