Technology & Products
Key Products
PetriPrinter g-code generator; gCode Editor tool
Technological Advantage
Open-source C#-based platform (gCodeAPI.NET) that converts standard slicer g-code into dish-aligned formats; verified in peer-reviewed research (PLOS One).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables precise, collision-safe printing of bio-inks into multiple petri dishes simultaneously, automating printer path generation for reproducible cell culture structures.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on bioprinting dish alignment vs. general 3D printer management platforms; offers open-source customization for research workflows.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Research labs, academic institutions, and bioprinting enthusiasts using modified FDM printers for cell culture experiments.
Industry Verticals
Biomedical Research; Academic Research
Competitors
3DPrinterOS; PrintToPeer
