3dBioPen

The 3dBioPen is a hand-held device, used in research for promoting cartilage regrowth in knee reconstruction. It uses 3D printing methods to draw live stem cells directly onto the site of an injury.

Motherson collaborated with the University of Wollongong, the University of Melbourne and St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne to evolve their research into a controlled delivery device. We provided design and simulation, the development of electronic hardware and software, prototype production including component sourcing and final assembly.
