3D Bioprinting Solutions is a Russian biotechnology research laboratory focused on developing and commercializing bioprinting technologies. The company was founded by INVITRO, the largest private medical company in Russia, and officially opened its 3D Bioprinting Solutions laboratory in September 2013. Its core activities involve the development and production of bioprinters, bioinks, and biofabrication technologies for regenerative medicine and drug discovery applications.
One of the company's key products is the FABION bioprinter, capable of bioprinting without the need for organic or artificial scaffolds using a proprietary nanotechnology approach. In 2016, 3D Bioprinting Solutions launched the FABION 2, an advanced bioprinter that can print complex structures using tissue spheroids and a wide range of hydrogels with different polymerization mechanisms. The FABION two features a unique laser positioning system with an accuracy of five micrometers, enabling the printing of highly intricate structures.
In 2018, the company delivered its Organ.Aut magnetic 3D bioprinter to the International Space Station (ISS) for conducting experiments in microgravity conditions. The Organ.Aut successfully bioprinted a mouse's thyroid gland in space in December 2018, marking the first instance of living tissue being printed in outer space. In August 2019, the company bioprinted bone tissue aboard the ISS using the Organ.Aut.
3D Bioprinting Solutions has actively pursued collaborations with research institutions and commercial entities worldwide. In April 2019, the company announced plans to collaborate with laboratories from the US and Israel to deliver muscular tissue biomaterials to the ISS for bioprinting experiments using the Organ.Aut bioprinter.
