Bioprinting and Tissue engineering
We utilize emerging techniques of additive manufacturing and 3D printing of biomaterials to
engineer biomedical implants and promote tissue generation in the scaffolds. 3D scaffolds
can be formed from metals, ceramics, novel biodegradable polymers, and polymer
nanocomposites incorporating different types of ceramic and carbonaceous nanomaterials to
promote tissue generation in the scaffolds. We also developed different techniques of ink
optimization using different biomaterials which ultimately transformed into various products
based on tissue engineering applications.
Medical Textile
Medical Textile is an interdisciplinary branch that links textile engineering and medical technology to healthcare applications. Textile materials and products should have a particular
strength, flexibility, non-toxicity, and non-allergic, non-carcinogenicity to be accepted for healthcare applications. Depending on their application, it covers several parts of the healthcare sector ranging from a single thread suture to complex composite structures for bone replacement and from the simple cleaning wipe to advanced barrier fabrics used in operating rooms. As the healthcare industry is growing tremendously in India, the demand for Medical textiles is also rising.
Reverse engineering
Reverse engineering is one of the best approaches in design modification and recovery. When one doesn’t have any proper design approach it is the best option to provide design information. Using this technique, we deconstruct a product to investigate the mechanism of working of the developed product and compare it with the existing product. Tissue engineering and developmental biology provide complementary and mutually beneficial perspectives for the reverse engineering of living tissues. That triggers the dual aim to expand our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie tissue development and advance functional tissue engineering.
Net shape forming and customized implants
Net shape forming is a manufacturing process used to create complex parts or components with high precision and accuracy, while minimizing waste and reducing the need for additional machining or finishing operations. The process involves shaping or forming a material into the desired shape using various techniques such as injection molding, casting, or powder metallurgy.
The goal of net shape forming is to create a final product with minimal post-processing or finishing required, which can save time, resources, and cost. This is achieved by carefully designing the process and tooling used to produce the part, as well as selecting the appropriate material and processing parameters.
