3DBioFibR

Organization & Developments: 3DBioFibR

Parents

* It’s patented dry-spinning technology enables scalable, high-precision manufacturing of advanced biopolymer fibers—delivering superior performance at industrial scales
*3DBioFibR is driving the adoption of biomaterials in regenerative medicine, medical devices, defense, cosmetics, and sustainable textiles.
*Developer of collagen-based biomaterials designed for tissue engineering applications
*Employs the dry-spinning process to create collagen fibers that mimic the biomechanical and biochemical properties of natural structures, 3DBioFibR
*Lead product is CollaFibR, a collagen fiber. It can serve as an artificial tendon for soft tissue repair research and as scaffolds for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering.
*Patented Contact Drawing platform converts proteins and other biopolymers into fibres that recapitulate natural structure, function, and strength at industry-relevant scale. We currently work with materials including collagen, chitosan, spider silk proteins, and other structural biopolymers, with 3 signed partnerships, 14 paid development deals, and 20+ ongoing collaborative projects.
*Recent paid partnerships span tissue engineering, medical devices, defense, cosmetics and apparel, several with multinational corporations.
*SpidrFibR is the spider-silk-type fiber, which the company claims is five times stronger than steel.
