Nagpur: With the aim of developing cheaper medical devices the CAD-CAM centre in mechanical engineering department of the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) has set up a 'tissue engineering laboratory' or TEL. This laboratory, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment like a bioplotter, 3-D printer, tissue culture hood, and centrifuge is working to prepare bio-absorbable scaffolds for developing bone implants in future.

The programme is a part of Biomedical Engineering and Technology (Incubation) Centre (BETIC) set up at IIT-Bombay under a national project that also has Government College of Engineering at Pune (COEP) and VNIT as satellite centres. VNIT's TEL is first lab in any NIT to have a bioplotter that costs about Rs90 lakh.
