BioScaffolds PG V2.0

Here is reported the development of a g-code compiler software called BioScaffolds PG V2.0.; it is compatible with open-source desktop 3D printers and is oriented to be used in the 3D bioprinting field by material extrusion processes. The software was programmed using the VB.NET language and enables the scaffolds fabrication in the construction platform, inside Petri dishes, or in cell culture plates. The deposition process was also parameterized; it is calculated as a function of the tool-path and considers the mass conservation according to the printing head geometry. The graphical user interface allows easily set the process and geometrical parameters to generate a g-code file.

本文报道了一款名为BioScaffolds PG V2.0的G代码（G-code）编译器软件的研发情况。该软件兼容开源桌面级3D打印机，适配采用材料挤出工艺的3D生物打印领域。本软件基于VB.NET语言开发，可实现构建平台、培养皿或细胞培养板内的支架制备。沉积过程已完成参数化设定，其计算以刀具路径为依据，并结合打印头几何结构遵循质量守恒定律。其图形用户界面可便捷设置工艺与几何参数，以生成G代码文件。
