manual flow control
26 Apr 2018
When working with custom materials and a broad range of nozzles, adjusting extrusion during the printing process is crucial for fast settings optimization. With the new version of PlanetCNC and the work of our mathematical analyst and algorithm developer Eva, we have now upgraded the Vitaprint 3D bioprinter also with this feature, allowing manually regulating extrusion flow during printing, thus...

In the last decade drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in general have proven to be one of the great technological developments with a range of applications from recreational hobby use to commercial applications such as monitoring, parcel delivery and filming. UAVs are very useful to capture high quality aerial data at affordable cost compared to alternative approaches, resulting in...
Principe Island
10 Jan 2018
Green sea turtles are an endangered species and most vulnerable during the nesting period when they converge on sandy beaches. Working with the Arribada Initiative and Principe trust we have designed and in past December deployed a camera based tag to capture on video the turtle’s behaviour in space and time. Understanding their swimming, feeding habits and their interaction with...

This week we are reporting on our progress in fabricating freeform perfusable vessel systems in biocompatible hydrogels. We have previously been successful in fabricating 2D branched perfusable structures and simple 3D molded meniscus models from gelatin. Now, we’re presenting a more complex geometrical network of vessels, shaped as the vasculature of an earlobe. Vascularization is a major challenge in tissue...
angelshark

Last month Blaž and Luka participated in the Angelshark acoustic tag attachment workshop hosted at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). The aim of this workshop was to identify the best approach to externally tag Angelsharks with electronic tags, whilst ensuring minimal impact on animal behaviour and life history. The workshop brought together researchers from the Angel Shark Project (a...
