Pittsburgh-based Mimetic develops biocompatible 3D-printing solutions for rapid microfluidic prototyping in life-science and biomedical research. Its transparent materials and automated benchtop platform are designed to replace time-consuming manual fabrication and cleanroom work, helping researchers create custom devices and tools in hours rather than days.
Advanced Solutions Life Sciences, LLCFounded by Louisville engineer Michael Golway, Advanced Solutions Life Sciences develops and manufactures biofabrication equipment and software for building and studying 3D biological structures. Its flagship BioAssemblyBot is a patented six-axis bioprinting platform, supported by automation software and Angiomics human microvessels for vascularized tissue models. The ASI subsidiary operates from a 15,000-square-foot Louisville facility with more than 50 engineers and technical professionals, alongside a biomedical research laboratory in Manchester, New Hampshire.PHILADELPHIA, PA
ACUITYnano LLCMaryland-based ACUITYnano LLC develops biomedical and laboratory technologies that use microfluidics, optics, machine vision, and embedded control to manipulate and study nanoscale objects and living cells. Its R&D work ranges from a low-cost on-chip near-field optical microscope with reported 10-nanometer resolution to automated systems for cell and nematode analysis, including research designed for microgravity experiments. The company also helps research organizations, startups, and medical-device businesses move concepts from early development into prototypes and products.CHEVY CHASE, MD
3D Print PittsburghCreated in 2021 by Rachel and Jareth Tackett, 3D Print Pittsburgh is a Pittsburgh custom 3D printing and product-development shop that turns existing files or original ideas into prototypes, parts, and production runs. Its in-house print farm handles everything from small orders to batches of thousands, while its custom-built BigPAM printer extends FDM production to parts measuring up to 800 × 800 × 900 millimeters. The company also provides CAD design and scanning, with original design files and licensing included in its custom-design work.PITTSBURGH, PA
Meteora3DFounded by a clinical 3D-printing expert and a physics and product-development specialist, Cincinnati-based Meteora3D builds automation-first resin 3D-printing systems for volume production. Its patent-pending Lift-Based Peel Separation process and Integrated Print-Wash-Cure system are designed to remove the manual post-processing bottleneck that the founders experienced in clinical labs. Meteora3D is currently piloting its technology with dental lab partners.
