The manager of the strategic technologies laboratory network announced the provision of facilities of 3D printing laboratory to researchers, stating: students and faculty members can use these services.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Reza Asadifard pointed out joining the bio 3D printing laboratory of Omid Afarinan to the strategic technologies laboratory network, adding: by joining the network, students and faculty members will be able to use the special discounts and facilities of the Vice-Presidency to perform research in the field of bio 3D printing.

He continued: By joining the lab, researchers will be able to benefit from a variety of mechanical and numerical printing technologies, high-temperature thermoplastic printing, optical crosstalk and ultraviolet wavelengths, sub-hood use, and device specification.

According to Asadifard, bio 3D printing laboratory facilities and abilities of Omid Afarinan center will be provided to researchers and industries in website of strategic technologies laboratory network.

He also asserted: given the increasing number of people on the waiting list for organ transplantation and the very small number of organ donors in the world, the production of live and transplantable tissues in the laboratory is one of the challenges of scientists.

The manager of the strategic technologies laboratory network also noted: although tissue-engineering techniques have succeeded to some extent in this pathway, efforts continue to construct tissues with similar geometry and cells to body tissue. Biomedical 3D printing is one of the new solutions in this field that allows different cells and materials to be positioned in the same geometry as body tissues.
