Welcome!

Welcome to my warehouse! In it, you will find my 3D digital design work and be able to pick my brain through my personal experiences and analyses. About Me: My name is Brendan Lukas, also known as DJ Bluto. I’m an upper senior at Baruch College with a major in Business Communication/Graphic Communication and a minor in […]

Research Process

I want to know more about bioprinting and tissue engineering, specifically the printing process and how bioink is actually created. I want to know how cells become an organoid step-by-step. Furthermore, I want to confirm my belief that a bioprinter prints tissue in layers just like a normal 3D printer. The deliverable I plan to create is […]

Step 8 Analyses of Other Groups

Group 1 Attention-Getters The design of the arts center is very unique and eye-catching. The partnership with TEDx is a great idea …

Research Agenda

I want to know more about bio-printing and tissue engineering, specifically the printing process and  how “bioink” is actually created. The deliverable I plan to create is an infographic displaying all of my pertinent research on bio-printing and tissue engineering, visually. Drawing inspiration from Manuel Lima’s The Book of Trees: Visualizing Branches of Knowledge, I will design a […]

Personal Reflection

Coming into the class, I knew a fair amount about 3D printing technology but never had the opportunity to see how one works in person. In just a few short months I feel that I have learned so much more about the world of three-dimensional design, not only practical knowledge from using SketchUp or the […]

Future Vision

Bioprinting is the three-dimensional printing of biological tissue and organs through the layering of living cells. While this area of manufacturing is still in the experimental stage and is currently used primarily in scientific study rather than applied science, the possibility of creating functional replacement tissues or organs could one day transform medical treatment. This is why […]
