4.3.2 Generate the geometry

Instead of selecting the appropriate file, a simple geometry can be generated within Corning® DNA Studio. To generate the geometry,
choose the Generate option to start a new bioprinting process using a generated geometry. Corning DNA Studio will guide you through
the process of setting up your Bioprint.

Select the desired geometry and its dimensions.
