SE3D Education Launches Science Lab Innovators Program

By -



Leading educational initiatives and innovation in science, SE3D Education has launched its 2017 Science Lab Innovators Program (SLIP). The SLIP Program is comprised of select teachers in K-12 charter, public, and private schools, vocational training institutions, colleges and other related programs who are pioneering bioscience-focused education through innovative curriculum and lab programs.

“It is our mission, with the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), to stimulate interest in science through experiences that prepare and propel the next generation of biomedical scientists, engineers and innovators” stated Dr. Mayasari Lim, CEO at SE3D Education. “The Science Lab Innovators Program (SLIP) is our way of accentuating the Science in STEM by bringing together talented educators, initiatives and ingenuity to pursue that mission. We are very excited to offer this program for 2017”

Participants in the SLIP program will have access to an exclusive knowledge base of content and curriculum, collaboration with industry professionals, and online training/development workshops to support their efforts. SE3D is also deeply discounting their 3D printing technology making it affordable for school science labs with tight budgets.

SE3D Education is currently showcasing their science lab technology with the NSF at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2017 and at the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) annual conference in March.

How 3D Printing Will Revolutionize Henna Tattoos

By Cecillia Wong. -

Originating from Ancient India, Henna (also known as Mehndi) is a body art where decorative designs are drawn onto a person’s body using a paste created from the leaves of a henna plant. It is commonly used as an accessory on special occasions such as weddings and holidays. Some of the holidays celebrated with henna are Purim,  Diwali , Passover, and various saints’ days.   Where can you get henna tattoos? Henna has historically been used in the Arabian Peninsula, Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Carthage, and North Africa. There are independent henna artists in the United States. However, hiring a henna artist can cost you anywhere upwards of $75/hr. How will 3D printing affect henna printing? The application of henna is very demanding. It is traditionally applied by highly skilled artists with a steady hand as once the material is applied, it will stain the skin almost immediately. The tattoos can last up to three weeks without fading. It also relies on

My 3D printer can bioprint... right? NOT

Ear scaffold printed by r3bEL bioprinter Plastic widget printed by a typical 3D printer By Mayasari Lim, Ph.D. When the r3bEL from SE3D is on display at CES , NSTA or other educational events focused on STEM, the first impression is that it’s another 3D printer like those manufactured by MakerBot or Dremel . As you move in closer and notice that there is no spool for filament, one becomes a bit puzzled and asks the question, “Dr. Lim, this is a 3D printer right?” In some ways but its features and applications are very different than the 3D printers most educators are familiar with. While the r3bEL may have the basic physical structure and platform resembling a 3D printer, it has certain distinct features that cannot be produced in 3D printers typically found in schools. The r3bEL is actually classified as a “bioprinter” for the following; F ACT #1 – It does not print plastic! Most desktop 3D printers like MakerBot are based on fused deposition

Beginners Guide to Bioprinting: Pluronic as a biomaterial

By Cecillia Wong. -

Here is the first blog to our series of beginners guide to bioprinting. The purpose of this guide is to provide basic knowledge in a topic of interest in the field of bioprinting. This blog will feature the use   of Pluronic as a biomaterial for bioprinting. When using r3bEL to print cellular scaffolds, Pluronic F-127 has been our favored biomaterial. Pluronic, also known as Poloxamer 407, is a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant,[1] It is also a thermo-reversible hydrogel, meaning that it can change from liquid to solid state depending on the temperature, and in this case, it is a liquid at cold temperatures and a solid at room temperature. Pluronic is widely used in multiple fields due to its surfactant properties which allow for a lower surface tension between lipids and liquids. In the cosmetics industry, it is used in dissolving oily ingredients in water. Pluronic acts as a cleaning agent to safely remove lipids from the lens films in contacts solution. Pluronic is al
