9 Coaxial printing
Use this feature to simultaneously print two biomaterials from separate cartridges. This gives
you better control when printing bioinks that require crosslinking or catalysing agents to
maintain structure. Coaxial printing also supports printing vessel-like structures by enabling
the combination of a primary material with a sacrificial material.
Note : The coaxial feature is only available for BIO X6.
