Empowering Other’s To<br />
Build With Life<br />
Allevi is building tools to design and engineer<br />
with life. Our <strong>3D</strong> bioprinters and bioinks are<br />
used by leading researchers all around the<br />
world to find solutions to humanity’s most difficult<br />
problems - to cure disease, to test novel drugs, to<br />
eliminate the organ waiting list, to build with life.<br />
Founded in 2014, our mission is to make it easy to<br />
design and engineer <strong>3D</strong> tissues. We created our<br />
desktop <strong>3D</strong> bioprinter to be the most versatile,<br />
powerful and easy-to-use bioprinter on the market.<br />
Since our humble beginnings, we have grown to serve<br />
hundreds of labs in all corners of the world and have<br />
become leaders in the biofabrication revolution.<br />
At Allevi, the biggest challenge is definitely the<br />
symphony of things that need to work together to<br />
make the overall solution work. <strong>3D</strong> printing is a<br />
mixture of robotics, software, and material science.<br />
For us we still use robotics and software but our added<br />
layer of complexity is that we print cells. And this is<br />
truly where we derive our specialty. We’ve learned a<br />
lot in the past to be able to print and pattern cells. The<br />
next step is really to get the biology to perform and<br />
working with biologist around the world is the best<br />
way to tackle this.<br />
In terms of the <strong>3D</strong> printing industry, the globe is<br />
moving towards demands of more regional<br />
personalized products as well as thoughts around<br />
sustainability. In era where mass manufacturing has<br />
become mainstream, the new generations are more<br />
conscious of where products are bought, who makes<br />
them, and how do they benefit not only themselves but<br />
the community. I believe we will see <strong>3D</strong> printing<br />
continue to take a greater and greater role in providing<br />
these more regionalized sustainable products for new<br />
market demands.<br />
