FluidForm Inc., a firm making artificial human issue with 3D printing technology, has signed a 3,550-square-foot lease in Acton, according to Aho Properties, which represented the landlord.
FluidForm is developing a gel it says researchers around the world can use for 3D bioprinting of collagen, cells and a range of biomaterials. Eventually, it says it could have the capability of essentially printing human organs through advanced machinery.
Earlier this month, the company said researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh — where FluidForm co-founder Adam Feinberg is a biomedical engineering professor and researcher — have advanced a technology for which FluidForm has an exclusive license. The technology, called Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels, or FRESH, can 3D-print collagen with more complexity than ever before and construct components of the human heart spanning from small blood vessels to valves to beating ventricles, the company said.
Feinberg called the advancements a major step toward eventually bioengineering human organs.
FluidForm is leasing at 42 Nagog Park in an cluster of office buildings off Route 2A also including the medical equipment supplier Insulet and the streaming video technology company SeaChange International.
Aho, which announced the lease Aug. 1, represented the landlord, Technology Point Properties LLC, which is registered to Christopher Edward Strangio of Stow. Technology Point Properties bought the two-story 42,000-square-foot building in 2011 for $1.6 million.
