Artificial skin and artificial bone were produced using a '3D precision tissue scaffold system' developed with the support of TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). This method aims to produce custom bone grafts for patients with bone fractures and artificial skin for patients requiring skin transplants.
Professor İsmail Lazoğlu from Koç University's Production and Automation Research Center has achieved a first in Türkiye with his work in the field of artificial skin and artificial bone. With the TÜBİTAK ARDEB-supported project, "Rapid Prototyping and Computer-Aided High-Speed Manufacturing," a three-dimensional tissue scaffold was produced using an open-architecture controlled rapid prototyping mechatronic system. The developed system can transform a virtual tissue scaffold, designed in three dimensions in a computer environment, into a physical tissue scaffold with the desired geometry.
