Bioprinting GCode Tool (Java Edition)

BGT Icon

NOTE: THIS PROJECT IS OUTDATED AND HAS A VERY SUBPAR CODEBASE RELATIVE TO MY SKILLS NOW (in my opinion). I MAY GET BACK TO THIS AT SOME POINT BUT IF YOU ARE A RESEARCHER/STUDENT LOOKING AT THIS YOU ARE LIKELY BETTER SERVED BY EXPORTING .GCODE FILES AS INSTRUCTUION SETS TO YOUR PRINTER VIA ULTIMAKER OR SOME OTHER SLICER AND MODIFYING HEADERS AS NEEDED.

A terminal-based tool I developed to parametrically generate GCode files for the Cellink BioX 3D printer. Existing slicers did not have sufficient precision or customization of different print properties for research purposes so I simply made my own.

This version is highly experimental and requires some understanding of how it is programmed and the ability to use a terminal user interface to operate effectively. I am revamping the entire program to be GUI-based for ease of use but that takes time and for now I'm shifting my focus towards protocol optimization as this program is capable of doing everything necessary for my purposes.


Download - For now, download BGT-C. Java version isn't compiling how I want it to.

Documentation - If you are confused on any functionality of this program, read this first.

Changelog - Update history of this program since its creation, as version control was implemented later in development.

BGT-C - Old version of this program if you ever need it.
