3D BioFibR is a Canadian company that produces high-quality collagen and spider silk fibers for tissue engineering. Their patented dry-spinning process creates well-aligned protein fibers at scale, mimicking how these fibers are made in nature. Their CollaFibR™ product line includes bioinks, 3D tissue culture, and tissue engineering solutions, all utilizing collagen fibers to increase mechanical durability, cellular organization, and physiological relevance. They also offer SpidrFibR™, a spider silk prototype with excellent potential for applications in the green textile industry, aerospace engineering, and defense.
3D BioFibR's innovation lies in their ability to create extremely strong fibers with mechanical properties that match or exceed their natural counterparts. Their manufacturing process allows for fully automated production of high-quality collagen fibers, which recapitulate the biomechanical and biochemical properties of natural collagen fibers, at commercial scale production. Their impact is expected to be significant in the biomedicine industry, driving technology towards clinical applications and solving critical end-user pain points.
