First-of-its-Kind PrintRoll™ Rotating Build Platform Developed for Tubular Solutions

Desktop Health developed PrintRoll™, an innovative rotating build platform. This platform is specifically designed to facilitate the 3D printing of intelligent tubular solutions intended for various bodily channels, including those in the vascular, digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems.

PrintRoll™ is a sophisticated tool that enables the production of cylindrical medical solutions for both adults and children. To accommodate different needs, it offers a selection of standard and customisable drum diameters. 

This unique platform addresses a crucial gap by being the first bioprinting solution designed explicitly for the complex network of channels that exist within the human body.

The mechanism of the PrintRoll™ platform involves attaching it to the modular build plate of the 3D-Bioplotter. The platform features a motor-driven rotating mandrel, which can be equipped with easily interchangeable drums of varying sizes. The rotational speed of the platform is precisely controlled through the user-friendly software of the 3D-Bioplotter.

Notably, the system offers exceptional control over temperature, sterility, and design parameters. With an impressive temperature range of 2°C to 500°C (35.6°F to 932°F), the 3D-Bioplotter supports the creation of intricate, multi-material medical components.
