INVIVO
Multi-Use Hybrid Bio 3D Printer
Rokit Invivo as the most innovative and up to date bio 3D printer, allows users to create versatile 3D cellular
structure with multi material and extensive designs. By covering synthetic bio polymers such as PCL, PLGA,
PLLA and various hydrogels for scaffold generation, Rokit Invivo is an optimized tool for many of biomedical
research with its modular system and sterile environment. To be concrete, Invivo users can choose two out of
three types of nozzles (extruder, mechanical dispenser, hot melt pneumatic dispenser) with additional
temperature control function to optimize Invivo for their own research purpose. Rokit not only provides medical
grade PLGA, PLLA, PCL filament for Invivo extruder, but also gelatin based photo-curable bioink called
Invivo@gel for printing wide range of soft 3D cellular structures with Invivo dispensers. Additionally, Invivo
provides uncontaminated environment by making the machine closed system with H14 grade HEPA filter for
external air filtration and 254nm UV lamps for stage sterilization. With android OS touchscreen, users can
upload/download and print the 3D file with wifi network, also monitor printing status with their smart device. As
a powerful and versatile biomedical research tool, Invivo not only gives you creative research inspiration but
also actualize it immediately in your lab to attain innovative result for human life.

Use caution when turning on the UV lamp
- Do not use a work bench when a UV lamp is on.
- It may irritate or burn skin and eyes.
- Use a red switch on the upper right side of the machine to turn on/off the UV lamp.
- Turn off the UV lamp before opening
- It requires replacement every 14 months. (24hours a day)
NOTE : Keep away from flammable substances. It may result in a fire.
Do not touch a power cord with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.
Do not plug in multiple devices to one consent. This may cause a fire.
For sterilization, change filter regularly.
Use caution when turning on the HEPA filter
- Use a green switch on the upper right side of the machine to turn on/off the HEPA filter.
- Turn on the HEPA filter before use the printer, and the UV lamp should be turned off.
- It requires replacement every 8 months
(It varies depending on the operating environment)
- In the clean bench, turn off the filter and print.
Hazardous moving parts
- Keep fingers and other body parts away
- Open the door carefully or insert your hands while the device is running.

HOW TO USE

Preparation for bio filament printing
Enter the [New Creator K APP]> [Filament] >[EXTRUDER1]
Set up the proper temperature depending on bio filaments, andthen click [SETTEMP] to heat up the nozzle.
Infeed the filament into the lower insertion hole of the motoruntil it is grabbed by its gear.
Click [0.1MM], [1MM] or [10MM]on the [Distance]to discharge the filament.
Select the [LOAD]button on the [Loading] menu to extrude the filament until it is discharged from the nozzle.
Check out whether bio materials are discharged from the heated nozzle.

Preparation for bio dispenser
Fill in the dispenser with bio materials, and make sure to minimize layer of air inside of the syringe.
After choosing a proper size of a needle tip for the target resolution, adjustthe height of the dispenser mount to the position of the
piston accordingly.
Move to the [New Creator K APP]> [Filament] >[DISPENSER 1(RIGHT)] on the menu.
Click [0.1MM], [1MM] or [10MM]on the [Distance] to move dispensermounter
Adjust the height of the mounter to the piston using [UNLOAD]or [LOAD]button.
Check out whether materials are discharged from the dispenser by loading the materials by 0.1mm.

NOTE : Adjusting the distance of the dispenser by 1mm or 0.1mm is recommended.
(Setting up short distance of [Extrude Distance]depending on materials is recommended)
TIP : Available to use a tip which complies with specifications other than types of basic needle tips.
TIP : The optimized temperature is 235~245 degrees Celsius for PLA which is provided.

Leveling – Bio dispenser
Enter the [New Creator K APP]> [Bed Leveling] >[RIGHT POSITION]
Click the[HOME] button to adjust the distance from anozzle and a bed.
After clicking the [SET HOME POSITION], choose the distance to move among [0.1MM], [1MM] and [10MM]
After selecting the moving distance you want, click up and down arrows to adjust the distance between an output bed and a nozzle, up
to the properties such as viscosities of materials.
The thickness gauge provided will be helpful for this.

Click the [FINISH]button to finish leveling.
TIP : Before leveling, adjust the left extruder to make the extruderis parallel to the dispenser, or adapt the height of the extruder higher
than the dispenser. If the layer is 0.2mm, using 0.1mm thickness gauge is recommended for leveling. In the following printing,
the height you have set will be the offset value of the nozzle.
