Brinter® CORE

FOR SINGLE (OR MULTI-MATERIAL) 3D (BIO)PRINTING R&D OR PRODUCTION
Of materials sciences, printed drugs, tissue blocks, biosensors, materials and organs at Universities, University hospitals, Research organizations, Food, Bio, Pharma, Manufacturing and Healthcare Industries. The ongoing software & hardware development lets us design customized systems for each project. 3D (bio)printing with several printing technologies.

3D Printing with several printing technologies: Hydrogels suitable for cell culture usually have quite low viscosity, but 3D structures with defined shape usually require stiff materials (which are unable to support e.g. high cell viability).

One print head at a time with fast tool-free semi-automatic change method of Brinter® allows combined printing of stiff and soft materials and thus enable genuine multi-material printing of highly complex structures. Available printing technologies include pneumatic extrusion (Pneuma Tools), screw-driven mechanical extrusion, i.e. endless piston pump (Rotary Tool & Visco Tool), electromagnetically actuated microvalve droplet dispensing (Droplet Tool), and thermoplastic granulate extrusion (Granu Tool).

The Brinter® software is an intuitive web browser-based user interface that requires no downloads. The UI comes with an integrated slicer for the conversion of a 3D object model (.STL format) to specific instructions for the printer (g- code format). The only accessory you need is any 3D design software capable of exporting STL files so that you can design the printable CAD models. Once your structure has been imported into the slicer, you can configure the internal mesh along with a wide range of other printing parameters, such as support and layer specific parameters before sending the g-code to Brinter® to start the actual print job.

Next-generation 3D (Bio)printing Solution key features:

• Modularity: Brinter® evolves according to our partners’ and customers’ needs. The upcoming new print heads and modules can be used on the same platform/device by just updating the software. This lengthens the life span of the platform considerably and allows you to adapt to your changing printing needs. Printheads are compatible with both CORE and ONE platforms.
• Automation: Brinter® CORE does not have an automatic print head change interface like Brinter® ONE. Brinter® CORE has a semi-automatic print head change interface making the manual attachment and change of the print heads easier than ever. There is no need for additional tools or need to open hoses when installing the print heads. Brinter® also has an automatic calibration system for the calibration of the XY offsets and an onboard camera for online process view and recording.
• Multi-material: Brinter® CORE can be used for multi-material printing via manual tool change and can print materials ranging from liquids to hydrogels with living cells, biopaste, ceramic paste, silicones, and even granulates of plastic, or cellulose into one print job.
• Other: Video camera for real-time monitoring for rheology, quality control, etc. purposes as well as recording. Web browser based software with no need to install any software locally.
  Printing can be remotely controlled and monitored via computer, tablet or mobile phone.
• Print Heads: An endless number of printing heads, one at a time. Brinter® Core uses the same print heads as the larger fully automated Brinter® One. Via virtual tool function and manual replacement you can use more than 4 print heads with the same print job.
• Photocuring: print head integrated 365 nm, 405 nm, 450 nm and  red light (625 nm, 680 nm and 720 nm) LEDs
• Sterility: Open platform meant to be used in open areas, office spaces, clean rooms, inside laminar hoods etc. based on the customer requirements
• Compatible syringes: Pneuma and droplet series uses standard 10 cc (ml) and 5 cc (ml) syringes with standard luer lock connector
• Temperature range or printing heads: 4 °C–RT, RT–66 °C & RT–250 °C (for thermoplastic print heads)
• Temperature Range of the Print Bed: Optional
• Maximum recommended print speed: 80 mm/s
• XYZ Minimum Step Size: 3 μm
• Minimum Strand Diameter: Material + tip size and shape dependent
• Print surfaces: Print on whatever print surface you prefer: Petri dish, well plate,microscope slide, print bed, even curved surfaces is possible
• Build Volume (W × D × H): 150×110×40 mm (axis movement area 150×150×50 mm)
• Equipment Dimensions (W × D × H) and weight: 410×500/426×425 mm (/with and without connectors) and 20 kg
• Connectivity: Via Ethernet
