Introduction to tomographic volumetric 3D (bio)printing

Readily3D developed Tomolite and Apparite to make research in biosciences quicker and more efficient. Founded in 2020, Readily3D originates from a research work started in 2017 at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Existing bioprinting technologies are slow, which tends to reduce cell viability. They also have a poor ability to produce complex anatomical structures, such as vasculatures. To overcome these limitations, we created Tomolite: a unique bioprinter, allowing biologists to print an entire cell-laden volume at once, in less than a minute and without impairing cell viability.

Tomolite leverages our contactless tomographic illumination technology to shape sensitive cells and biomaterials into biological systems, without impairing their viability. Volumetric printing not only preserves cells but also makes research more efficient by simplifying design iterations and statistical studies.

In recent years, tomographic volumetric bioprinting has for instance been used to build functional hepatic constructs, anatomically correct porous bone models, multi-material perfusable bio-constructs, or even 3D pancreatic cancer models. Thanks to the throughput and repeatability of volumetric bioprinting, such models could be used in a near future for drug development. The scalability of volumetric bioprinting also makes it relevant for regenerative medicine applications.
