Build a 3D Bioprinter and Join Our Growing Network
We are excited to offer this experience for the 5th year, and continue to train new users on our ever evolving open-source 3D bioprinter platform. This year we are excited to grow our team with Prof. Dan Shiwarksi from the University of Pittsburgh joining as a co-Lead Organizer for the workshop and incorporating some amazing improvements his lab has made. The full Organizing Committee includes Dr. Ezgi Bakirci, Dr. Annie Behre, Dr. Jaci Bliley, and Prof. Adam Feinberg
This 3-day hands-on workshop will introduce individuals and teams to 3D printing of soft and biological materials; facilitate the assembly, operation and validation of an open source 3D bioprinting platform; and connect participants to a growing network of researchers working to advance 3D printing of soft and biological materials.
Program and Schedule
The program includes keynote presentations, tutorials related to the assembly and use of the 3D bioprinter, guided construction and testing of the 3D printers, as well as networking opportunities.
The 2025 program will run July 15-17, Tuesday to Thursday, with a daily schedule of 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Cost
A fee of $3000 per team (includes one participant) plus $300 for one additional participant from the same team (maximum of 3 participants from one team) is required for confirmed participants.
The fee includes all materials, instruction and support, one completed 3D bioprinter (per team), one LifeSupport kit, shipping of the bioprinter to the participant's home institution (additional fees may apply to ship the printer outside the US), lunch and snacks all 3 days of the workshop as well as evening networking activities.
Travel and overnight accommodations are not included. Recommendations in the area, including a discounted hotel option, will be provided to the selected applicants once participation is confirmed.
Application and Timeline
Applications for the 3D Bioprinting Open Source Workshop will be accepted until June 20, 2025 (extended). Selected applicants will be notified during the week of June 16th and must respond to accept or decline the invitation to participate within one week. Payment is due upon acceptance. Space is limited. Wait listed applicants will be notified of their status and extended invitations as space allows.
