生物技术，一家位于英国的生物技术公司，正在使用Stratasys3D printing to create a ‘desktop PC’ of life sciences and biology.
具体而言，该公司利用Stratasys的全彩色多物质J8263D printerin its mission to advance the field of synthetic biology. The BiologIC team is currently developing a digital bio-processing unit, described as a digital ‘lab-in-a-box’ that speeds up laboratory processes in order to make the latest breakthroughs in food, fuels, and medicines more accessible. Once the product finishes development, BiologIC plans to also manufacture the device using the J826 3D Printer.
Biologic的联合创始人Nick Rollings解释说：“我们的'实验室'从3D打印和半导体的悠久历史中汲取了灵感。”
“Importantly, our instrument could be used to create biology by design and on-demand, whether it’s to treat patients on-site or make the latest biofuels. We believe this device will enable the next industrial revolution.”
Who is BiologIC?
Founded in 2019, BiologIC specializes in the field of synthetic biology, an area of science that involves redesigning organisms for useful purposes by engineering them to have new abilities. The company believes this field has the potential to create billions of dollars of disruptive value and benefits for society in existing and new markets, however, its growth is constrained as breakthrough bioproducts cannot be easily applied and scaled.
生物学解释说，工程生物学是一项复杂且昂贵的事业，通常需要大型实验室和高技能的科学家混合并将液体融合到不同的机器人，从而执行特定的，有时是重复的任务。因此，该公司旨在将整个过程凝结到一个简化现有方法的实验室中。
Key to BiologIC’s proposition is a bio-processing unit developed using the Stratasys J826 3D printer. The unit is designed to automate a number of complex biological processes using many different elements and materials. As such, the multi-material and full-color capabilities of the J826 3D printer was essential for BiologIC: “The cost and time implications of creating such a device and bringing it to reality with a working prototype was the stumbling block. Ultimately, 3D printing was the technology capable of overcoming this problem. Indeed, without the J826, we wouldn’t be moving ahead as a company as we wouldn’t have a product,” adds Rollings.
利用多物质，全彩3D打印
J826 3D打印机刚刚于2020年2月推出，针对许多行业的企业，包括消费商品和电子，汽车和教育机构的中等批量建模。该系统可以与Stratasys Polyjet范围下的许多材料一起使用，包括带有Vero Ultra Clear的透明度。它还启用了多物质3D打印，该打印允许用户使用一系列纹理生产高度逼真的原型。
在透明的Vero Ultra透明材料中打印的能力对于生物制作其实验室中的墨盒非常重要。科学家必须观察墨盒的内部运作，以确保生物学具有高质量并按照设计的方式进行。此外，设计师使用了柔性光聚合物（例如Agilus30和其他数字材料）在生物处理单元中增加一定程度的功能。它有助于实现流体的精确运动，这是控制生物学的关键。

除了利用J826的多物质和颜色3D打印功能外，Biologic还从技术的快速开发过程中受益。这使公司可以实时向潜在客户展示墨盒的开发。该公司另一个联合创始人科林·巴克（Colin Barker）解释说，生物学专门确定了一种可以在物理和经济上适合该公司业务模型的技术。将来，该公司的目标是使用3D打印来大规模生产生物处理单元。“我们作为初创企业的优先事项意味着我们需要一项使我们能够变得苗条和敏捷的技术。Stratasys的PolyJet 3D打印是游戏中最好的，因此，J826重要的是，J826使我们以价格点和物理尺寸访问这项技术，对初创企业有吸引力。” Barker解释说。
Stratasys Polyjet技术
J826是Stratasys的J8系列Polyjet打印机中的最新添加，该系列包括J850 color 3D printer于2019年10月宣布。PolyJetTechnology已利用广泛的应用程序选择，尤其是在颜色和多物质3D打印很重要的应用程序中。
For example, using the Stratasys J750, fashion designers were able to create a凸耳效应在衣服上搭配浅色和颜色，以复制greta-oto蝴蝶的外观纽约时装周(NYFW) 2019.
PolyJet technology has also played an integral role in the films of American stop-motion animation studio LAIKA. These films include the likes ofCoraline，，，，Kubo和两个弦，，，，和most recently, Missing Link, which featured the use of106,000 3D打印面孔made withPolyJet J750和PolyJet Connex3雷电竞app下载来自Stratasys的3D打印机。
