BioFabrication Facility

The BioFabrication Facility(Abbreviation: BFF) The BFF is a 3D bioprinter on the ISS capable of printing human tissue from bioinks mixed with living cells. This ISS National Lab commercial facility is owned and operated by Redwire Space. (BFF) is a biomanufacturing platform capable of 3D printing with live cells (human and animal). The facility contains a Z-tower with multiple print heads and a bioreactor on the X-Y print stage. Once printed, cells are conditioned and matured into tissue in ADSEP. The eventual goal is the manufacture of whole human organs and consumable cultured meat.
