A novel way for 3D printing of polymers and composites
Rayo 3D Biotech Ltd provides InLiq-3D® technology for resin and composite printing in general fields of industry and for biotechnology, medicine, dentistry and drug release. This technology platform can be utilised in the large-scale production of 3D printable objects.
InLiq-3D® technology is suitable for 3D printable resins, resin composite, which are polymerised by free radical polymerisation (light-initiated polymerisation of autopolymerisation).
Technology enables the incorporation of technical or biologically active compounds and fillers by adding them to the printable material or by using the InLiq-3D® material as a vehicle to add the compounds to the surface layer of the printable object. The technology allows the production of objects of various sizes and can be up-scaled in a number of the printing units.
Environmentally friendly InLiq-3D® system
InLiq-3D® technology is based on using an environmentally friendly water-based supporting material system for 3D printing, which promotes and accelerates the polymerisation of the printable resin.
An innovative feature of the InLiq-3D® technology is the composition of the supporting material into which the 3D printing is made. InLiq-3D® material is non-toxic, and it supports the printable resin or resin composite to keep its desired and precise form.
Unlike other available printing systems, only one supporting point for the object is needed: printing can be performed without an underlaying supporting structure. InLiq-3D® supporting material is selectively activated for the acceleration of polymerisation. The system also includes a protective gas to ensure complete polymerisation and biocompatibility of the printable object.
Production of implantable drug-releasing devices
InLiq technology can be used for producing implantable drug-releasing devices. Material to be released is capsulated by printed polymer and release takes place when the polymer is degraded or dissolved.
