Se pretende adquirir un equipo de impresión 3D de última generación que combine hardware y software avanzados capaces de hacer frente a las necesidades de procesado de biomateriales con composición (polímeros, células, híbridos) y consistencia (semisólidos, geles o sólidos fusibles) diversas para obtener arquitecturas (externas e internas) funcionales complejas. La manufactura aditiva y, en particular, la impresión 3D ofrecen la posibilidad de preparar estructuras diseñadas ad hoc utilizando el mínimo de material, para una amplia variedad de aplicaciones en tecnologías avanzadas, incluyendo las biomédicas, con una ubicación muy precisa de cada componente. No obstante, los equipos para pequeño usuario disponibles en las universidades y los centros de investigación gallegos, específicamente en la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (USC), carecen de la resolución necesaria en X-Y-Z y de las prestaciones de software requeridas para un diseño preciso. La posibilidad de disponer de una impresora 3D capaz de imprimir en gradientes entre capas y dentro de la misma capa combinando tintas diferentes, con resolución micrométrica, permitiría cubrir una demanda real de los investigadores que trabajan en este campo y animaría a otros a utilizarlo en nuevas aplicaciones científicas y tecnológicas. Además de impulsar la competitividad de los grupos de la USC, el equipo de impresión 3D de última generación incrementará la prestación de servicios a empresas y laboratorios externos. (Spanish)

The aim is to acquire a state-of-the-art 3D printing equipment that combines advanced hardware and software capable of fulfil the processing needs of biomaterials with different composition (polymers, cells, hybrids) and consistency (semisolids, gels or fusible solids) to obtain complex (external and internal) functional architectures. Additive manufacturing and, in particular, 3D printing offers the possibility of preparing structures designed ad hoc using the minimum of material, for a wide variety of applications in advanced technologies, including biomedical ones, with a very precise location of each component. However, the small-users equipment available in Galician universities and research centers, specifically at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), lack the necessary resolution in X-Y-Z and the software features required for a precise design. The possibility of having a 3D printer able to print in gradients between layers and within the same layer combining different inks, with resolution in the micrometric scale, would allow to cover a real demand of the researchers already working in this field and would encourage others to use it in new scientific and technological applications. In addition to boosting the competitiveness of USC research groups, the latest generation 3D printing equipment will increase USC's capacity to provide services to companies and external laboratories.
