Training: 3D Bioprinting: From Fundamentals to Applications
July 16, 2026
10 AM-6 PM (UTC+2)
This training provides a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly advancing field of 3D bioprinting, combining theory with practical insights into bioink formulation, printing parameters, hardware/software use, and post-processing methods. Participants will gain valuable knowledge on how bioprinting can be applied to drug testing, tissue engineering, and personalized medicine. By the end of the course, attendees will be able to critically evaluate bioprinting technologies, understand their limitations, and explore opportunities for innovation in research and industry.
Agenda
1. Introduction & Fundamentals
- Overview of 3D bioprinting: technologies, applications, future trends
- Types of bioprinters (extrusion-based, inkjet, laser-assisted)
- Cell-laden vs. acellular printing
2. Bioink Formulation
- Types of bioinks: natural vs. synthetic hydrogels (alginate, gelatin, PEG, GelMA)
- Key properties: viscosity, shear-thinning behavior, crosslinking
- Sterility and cell encapsulation protocols
3. Bioprinting Parameters
- Nozzle diameter, extrusion speed, temperature control
- Layer height, infill density, printing pressure
- Crosslinking settings (UV, ionic, thermal)
- Interactive Case Study: Optimizing printing parameters for cartilage vs. skin models
4. Hardware and Software
- Overview of common bioprinters (e.g., CELLINK BIO X, Allevi, RegenHu)
- Slicing software (Slic3r, Cura, other tools)
- G-code basics and editing
- Calibration and maintenance
5. Post-Processing & Characterization
- Post-printing stabilization and incubation
- Crosslinking validation and scaffold integrity
- Cell viability and growth assays (Live/Dead)
- Structural evaluation: SEM, rheometry, microscopy
6. Real-World Applications and Q&A
- Drug screening, tissue modeling, personalized medicine
- Limitations and troubleshooting
- Startup/innovation opportunities in bioprinting
- Open discussion + Q&A
The training is intended for:
- Graduate and postgraduate students in life sciences, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, and related fields,
- Early-career researchers and professionals interested in applying bioprinting in their labs,
- Innovators, startup founders, and industry specialists exploring bioprinting for translational or commercial purposes.

The training will take place on July 16, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (UTC+2)
Training format: online.
Language: English.
Platform
To participate in the event without any issues using the ClickMeeting platform, all you need is an Internet connection and a modern web browser (Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Edge). We recommend using a computer with a 4-core processor, at least 8 GB of RAM, and a current operating system such as Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or Windows 11. In practice, however, any device capable of smoothly performing office tasks will suffice. The streaming platform also works on Apple operating systems and Linux distributions, including Android and ChromeOS.
For our part, we provide technical assistance with setup, as well as support from the platform’s representatives.
