Abstract:
Method and apparatus for three dimensional printing/bio-printing is disclosed. The apparatus includes a chamber further comprising a housing, an air supply unit, a heating and cooling unit, a humidifier, printing heads, gas removal unit and inlets. The housing further includes a printing platform coated with an antibacterial material and a UV lamp and an ozone generator, configured to turn on before printing the three dimensional prints on the printing platform, in order to sterilize the housing. A positive pressure in the chamber is increased by the air supply unit and the gas removal unit. External gases are passed and adjusted into the chamber by inlets. The humidity and temperature in the chamber are adjusted by the humidifier and the heating and cooling unit. The printing heads dispense biomaterial on the printing platform to create a three dimensional print.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for three-dimensional printing/bio-printing, comprising:\n a chamber, wherein the chamber is semi or fully closed and is enabled to maintain one or more predefined environmental parameters for cell culture and growth, wherein the chamber further comprises an air supply unit, a housing, one or more printing heads, a printing platform, one or more sterilizing means, one or more gas exchange units and a gas removal unit; wherein the air supply unit is configured to pull the air from the ambient environment and pass filtered air into the housing, and wherein the gas removal unit is configured to remove a small portion of filtered air from the chamber, thereby creating a positive pressure in the housing; wherein the one or more gas exchange units are configured to add and adjust an amount of external gases into the chamber during the printing of the three dimensional print; and wherein the housing is configured to receive the filtered air and adapted to house the one or more printing heads, the printing platform and the one or more sterilizing means; wherein the printing platform is coated with an antibacterial material, wherein the printing platform is printed with a three dimensional print by dispensing biomaterials through the one or more printing heads, and wherein the sterilizing means are configured to be turned on before printing the three dimensional prints in order to sterilize the housing.
