Steakholder Foods® Develops Temperature-Controlled Print Bed System for Its Industrial-Scale 3D Bio-Printer

The temperature-controlled print bed system uses contactless power and communication modules

REHOVOT, Israel, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), (formerly MeaTech 3D: MITC), an international deep-tech food company at the forefront of the cultivated meat industry, today announced that it has developed a temperature-controlled print bed for its industrial-scale printer. This is another significant step forward on the company's path toward mass production of cultivated meat using 3D printing technology.

Temperature control is a critical requirement when printing a cultivated product containing live cells. Maintaining optimal temperature poses a challenge in the architecture of Steakholder Foods' industrial printers, so the development of temperature-controlled print beds is a major milestone on the path to production at scale. Contactless electromagnetic power is delivered to the print bed which is connected to a wireless communication module that monitors and controls its temperature.

Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods: "We are proud to have reached this important milestone with our technology. It is a critical step toward producing structured cultivated meat at scale."
