Readable notes

Reading guide

Summary

This publication describes a low-cost bioextruder design for open-hardware bioprinting based on a peristaltic pump architecture.

Key findings

• A peristaltic pump approach can support accessible bioextrusion hardware.
• The design uses open-hardware components to support reproducibility and adaptation.
• The system is presented as a modular platform for prototyping bioextrusion workflows.
