“The automated
process is much
easier to reproduce
than manual work.
The quality of skin
produced with the
tissue factory is
therefore much higher.”
Andreas Traube, Group Leader Bioproduction,
Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering
and Automation (IPA), Stuttgart
want to do much more than just produce
tissue. The automated technology needs
to be further developed over the coming
years so that other products such as car-
tilage can be produced automatically.
