(Alliance News) - SolidWorld Group Spa announced Tuesday the technological upgrade of Electrospider, the first three-dimensional bioprinter capable of replicating human cell tissues.

Electrospider's goal is to make complex structures of whole human organs, completely changing the quality of life of patients, shortening the time of research and improving the way hospitals and healthcare facilities work.

Now, "thanks to the grafting of the latest generation of proprietary artificial intelligence, the machine now represents a significant step into the future of biomedical engineering," the company explains.

The new version "Electrospider 2.0" uses AI technology both at the level of constructing the three-dimensional model of the affected organ and for the printing process.

In addition, the study to use AI algorithms to control the simultaneous printing process of the support structure and the different cellular components of the tissues to be built or reconstructed is in its final stages. By doing so, the final product will be totally error-free.

Electrospider, the release states, becomes "an innovative tool for precision regenerative medicine as it integrates sophisticated algorithms that allow artificial intelligence to optimize the creation of the 3D digital model of the human tissue to be reproduced, thus eliminating all imperfections in the biological printing process and ensuring perfect reproduction from the patient's original cells."

Roberto Rizzo, president of SolidWorld Group commented, "In the field of regenerative medicine, the integration in Electrospider of new and sophisticated proprietary AI models is an evolution made possible by the mutual contamination of aerospace, biomedical, biological, information technology and mechatronics."

"Thanks to our expertise and know-how, today we have the ability to manage internally the entire biofabrication design and production chain, from software and related applied technology to the final product," Rizzo adds. "This underscores the company's constant commitment to control and optimize each phase of the process, for a vertical integration that not only positions us as a leader in the industry, but also allows us to guarantee maximum quality and safety in every aspect of our work.

SolidWorld's stock is 3.9 percent in the red at EUR3.45 per share.
