Abstract:
Designer software interface simplifies toolpath manipulation tasks by abstraction of
complicated calculations through an interactive 3D virtual environment. Implementation of
complete bioprinting toolchain enables researchers without technical background such as doctors
and biologists to produce bioconstructions rapidly using 3 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) and 5
DOF bioprinting platforms.
