In August of 2013, we wrote about a company called EnvisionTEC and their 286 pound 3D Bioprinter which was selling for under $200,000. At this price point, 3D bioprinting remains largely out of reach for most consumers who might want to play around with this new technology but don’t have that type of cash laying […]
We’ve been watching Organovo for a while now. For retail investors who want to invest in 3D bioprinting, Organovo (ONVO) is the only pure play in town. However, this doesn’t mean they have a monopoly by any means. German startup EnvisionTEC has been selling their 3D Bio-Printer commercially since 2001 at a price point under $200,000 USD. At […]
Several months ago, we published an article titled “Organs-on-Chips: An Alternative to 3D Bioprinting?” in which we speculated that 3D Bioprinting small samples of organ tissues to use for drug testing could be displaced by organs-on-chips. Organovo (NYSEMKT:ONVO), the only publicly traded 3D Bioprinting company, commands a market cap of over $500 million with just minuscule […]
While 3D Printing has attracted a great deal of attention from investors because of high growth projections, 3D Bioprinting has attracted investors because of its futuristic appeal. Some companies involved in 3D Bioprinting are raising eyebrows with their lofty ambitions, like private company Modern Meadow which is looking to 3D Print leather, or publicly traded […]
Many disruptive technologies attract the attention of investors and consequently, many companies will seek to attach themselves to these technologies. In a previous article, we highlighted 6 over-the-counter companies which quickly latched onto “nanotechnology” when it became a hot topic in 2004-2005. An investor during this time who would have would have invested $5,000 in each of […]
In earlier articles, we discussed 3D Bio-Printing technology company Organovo. What many Organovo investors might not know is that a little known German company, EnvisionTEC, is already selling a 3D Bio-Printer which has been sold commercially since 2001 and is currently installed in many research universities, labs, and hospitals worldwide. The price is just under 200,000 USD according to this […]
