Abstract
A bioprinting system comprises: a) a printing module containing at least one printhead for printing transferable objects of biological interest and at least one target, b) a feed source for the printhead for printing objects of biological interest, c) an activation means for the transfer of the objects of biological interest to the target, d) a means for relative displacement of the printhead with respect to the target, e) a sterilizable sealed enclosure, characterized in that —the printing module is placed in the sterilizable sealed enclosure —the activation means is located outside of the sterilizable sealed enclosure, —and the sterilizable sealed enclosure has a leaktight interaction zone with the activation means.

A cassette for a bioprinting system for producing biological tissue, the cassette comprising:
- a printing module containing at least one printhead for printing transferable objects of biological interest to a target for producing a biological tissue;
- and
- a leaktight interaction zone for interacting with an activation device for controlling physical transfer of an object of biological interest present in the printhead to the target;
- wherein the cassette defines a sterilizable sealed enclosure forming a jacket of the printing module, the printing module is located within the sterilizable sealed enclosure, and the cassette does not contain an activation device for controlling the physical transfer of an object of biological interest present in the printhead to the target, and
- wherein the cassette further comprises a magnetic target support within the sterilizable sealed enclosure configured to interact with stator coils outside the sterilizable sealed enclosure.
A bioprinting method for manufacture of a structured biological material from materials comprised at least in part of biological particles, the method including controlling a movement of at least one target via a robot in three dimensions, the target facing at least one printhead placed in a sealed and sterile enclosure, the printhead being supplied with the material and controlled from outside the sealed and sterile enclosure,
- wherein controlling the movement of at least one target via a robot in three dimensions comprises using a magnetic target support within the sealed and sterile enclosure interacting with stator coils outside the sealed and sterile enclosure.
