What are the P3D Scaffolds?
Bioceramic bone-mimicking scaffolds, a clinically relevant and animal-free alternative, for your cell- and bacteria studies, tissue engineering, disease modeling, and drug screening.
The 3D printed structures mimic the physical properties of calcified bone tissue to let you create more relevant and predictable models of human physiology and pathology that capture the complex interplay between various cells.

Mimic hard tissue in vitro with 100% polymer-free bioceramic scaffolds
The idea behind P3D Scaffolds is to give researchers the opportunity to perform their in vitro experiments in a clinically relevant context.
The porous 3D structure supports the natural self-organization of cells and maintains relevant cell signaling. It can also be used to test new therapies in lifelike structures wherein drug perfusion is uneven and where bacteria and cancer cells may hide in pores. This allows for a more realistic testing that is more likely to yield reliable results when subsequently translated.
Easy-to-use and compatible with common in vitro techniques
The P3D Scaffolds are compatible with most laboratory techniques with little to no alterations to the existing protocol.
By enabling the creation of more relevant cell culture models, we aim to help researchers enhance in vitro research and accelerate the development of new human therapies while reducing the need for animal testing.

Why 3D Printed Scaffolds?
The porosities maximize the surface area onto which cells can attach. Researchers can add different cells and pharmaceuticals to study how they interact with each other and the structure within its pores.
