BIO X6™
6 printheads enabling more complex structures and physiologically relevant models.
While we offer an extensive portfolio of biomaterials, we understand the necessity and importance to make the BIO X6 compatible with the widest range of biomaterials available.
As part of our patented Clean Chamber Technology, both the BIO X and BIO X6 utilize HEPA filters and built-in UV sterilization, bringing increased sterility to the printing chamber and better cell safety.
Coaxial & Mixing Printing
Independent dual pressure regulation to seamlessly enable co-axial and mixing printing.
Multi-material printing
With 6 modular printhead slots, multi-material 3D bioprinting has never been easier.
Temperature-controlled printbed
The printbed allows temperature control between 4°C – 60°C.

DNA Studio 4 Compatible
Generation 3 of the BIO X6 harnesses the power of the most advanced bioprinting software available today.
Advanced functionality and versatility.
3D bioprinting with total control of your process.
BIO X6 has you covered however you want your lab set up. The intuitive, onboard software allows you to work from the included tablet or a computer.
Control every aspect of your print from the intuitive and easy-to-use DNA Studio software on your tablet or laptop. Whether it is multilayer printing, layer-by-layer crosslinking, custom material definition or even protocol saving, the BIO X6 software has it all.
Patented Clean Chamber for better cell safety
Four high-powered fans channel air through HEPA H14 filters, designed to remove 99.995% of unwanted particles and microorganisms and a part of the Clean Chamber™ technology, which also includes UV-C germicidal lights and rounded edges.
Initiate Clean Chamber before beginning your experiment to ensure a cleaner environment in the chamber.
Open material platform, bioprint with the widest range of materials.
Universal biomaterial compatability
We offer an extensive portfolio of bioinks but understand the importance of material development, which is why we built the BIO X6, part of the BIO X series, to be an open system that is compatible with the widest range of materials available. Start developing your own bioinks with our high-quality bioink development products or explore our ready-to-print and tissue-specific bioinks.
Excellent temperature control
Grow your research with multiple, interchangeable, Intelligent Printheads
With an ever-growing list of Intelligent Printheads, the possibilities are limitless, giving you more freedom to push your research further. Our family of intelligent printheads is always growing. Each printhead system is made to suit different biofabrication application, which helps ensure the best possible result for your 3D bioprint.
