MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611021166 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Jammu on February 23, 2026, for Biofabrication System With Integrated Crosslinker Concentration Control For Forming Mesh Structures.
Inventors include Velu, Rajkumar; Manipuzha, Anand Sankar; and Mushtaq, Rutbah.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a biofabrication system (100) for forming mesh structures (102). The system (100) includes a plunger- based extrusion unit (104) including a plunger (105) coupled to a lead screw (107) through a mechanical linkage (106) driven by a stepper motor (108) to dispense a bio ink (103) through a nozzle (206) into a crosslinking solution (101) of water-like viscosity held within a crosslinker containment chamber (110) positioned on a build platform (109). A CNC-based motion control unit (111) guides the nozzle (206) along multiple axes during deposition. A crosslinker concentration control system (300) including a concentrate chamber (301), a diluent chamber (302), and a control valve (303) regulates crosslinker concentration. Unlike conventional embedded bioprinting systems relying on yield-stress or gel-based support baths, the present system enables direct mesh strand crosslinking and stabilization without use of a support bath.
