MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133336 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'manually actuated pantograph based 3d bioprinter for controlled deposition of biomaterials.'
Inventor(s) include K. Sasikumar; and Dr. K. Hariharan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is concerned with a manwilly actuated, three-dimensional bioprinting system based on a pantograph mechanism. The device makes use of a rigid, articulated linkage arrangement which transfers and scales highly accurately user-guided motion in the X, Y, and Z directions. An extruder assembly is mounted at the router end of the pantograph, at which location there is provided a nozzle to deliver biomaterial in gel form to the printing surface. A gel reservoir is connected into the extruder via a pneumatic hose fitted with pressure gauge, allowing for controlled variation of extrusion pressure and uniformity in the flow of material. The resultant low-cost, mechanically driven bioprinting platform can creatf simple biological structures characterized by accurate deposition while offering low levels o complexity and little dependence on electronic control systems."
