SpacePrintGuard, which is designed to detect anomalies during bioprinting. To achieve this, a workflow starting with a standarized test, from which pictures will be taken after each layer deposition (storage in an open database, publicly shared at the end of the project), and fed to a Framework, along with its tags, metadata and environmental conditions. Different materials and defective and non-defective tests generated from two different labs (one in Spain and the other in Germany) will be used to generate this database. Unlike traditional trial-and-error approaches, our Framework takes a proactive stance by employing machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies during the manufacturing process.

These anomalies may be corrected with variations in pressure or deposition speed among other factors crucial for successful bioprinting. By identifying and classifying these anomalies, the system can dynamically adapt to the manufacturing conditions, ensuring optimal printing parameters and significantly minimizing the waste of resources in bioprinting.

The SpacePrintGuard Framework plays a pivotal role in achieving a circular economy and zero-waste scheme. By providing a reactivesystem that advises or tunes manufacturing parameters (even in the future in real-time), we aim to streamline the 3D bioprinting process.This not only reduces the need for extensive calibration tests but also contributes to the responsible production of bioprinted products.Beyond terrestrial applications, our project has significant implications for space exploration. As humanity looks towards the stars,sustainable manufacturing practices are essential for the development of self-sufficient habitats in space.

This project addresses these challenges by offering a smart workflow that ensures resource-efficient 3D bioprinting in extraterrestrial environments.In alignment with the global challenges and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, our project underscores the importance of technological innovation in mitigating environmental impact.

By fostering a sustainable bioeconomy, we strive to contribute to global efforts in achieving responsible production, economic growth, and environmental stewardship, not only on Earth but also on the vast frontiers of space exploration.
