Redwire’s 3D Bioprinter Successfully Installed on Space Station and Prepped for Upcoming Meniscus Print
Redwire’s 3D BioFabrication Facility (BFF) has transformed the bioprinting space and will continue to do so as America’s first bioprinter with a permanent home on the International Space Station (ISS). In late January 2023, NASA astronauts successfully installed an upgraded BFF that allows greater temperature control when printing with bioinks that are sensitive to temperatures, as well as Redwire’s Advanced Space Experiment Processor (ADSEP), used in conjunction with BFF. Both payloads launched on Northrop Grumman’s 18th commercial resupply mission to the ISS on November 7, 2022. BFF will be used to produce a full 3D printed human knee meniscus with the BFF-Meniscus-2 investigation, which will explore how space bioprinting could help treat meniscal injuries affecting U.S. military service members.
