CEDARVILLE Engineering Group, LLC, (CEDARVILLE) and Rockland Immunochemicals, Inc., today
announced a research collaboration designed to explore the development of innovative
applications in 3D bioprinting that will advance life science research and accelerate the drug
discovery process. Interest in 3D bioprinting has emerged in recent years. Applications for 3D
bioprinting include drug screening, precision and regenerative medicine, food products and
biosensors. The project is expected to leverage the expertise CEDARVILLE has in 3D modeling and
printing, and the insight Rockland has in developing cutting-edge reagents and cell culture
processes critical to novel biotechnologies.

“Every day, we help determine the planning and development of roadways, bridges, utility
expansion and industrial or commercial sites. In that macro context, we have developed processes
to create 3D scalable models with precision and accuracy to fit the workflows in that paradigm.”
says April M. Barkasi, PE, President and CEO of CEDARVILLE. “This project presents an exciting twist.
We will envision, now in a microenvironment, the application of technology and protocols on a
cellular level to help advance scientific discovery in medicine.”

“The 3D bioprinting market is expected to grow in excess of 25% over the next five years to reach
$1.33B in 2021.” says Dr. Karin Abarca, Vice President, Science Operations, at Rockland. “Our
extensive know-how in 3D cell culture and the production of bespoke reagents critical to drug
discovery provide a keen perspective on the opportunities and promise of 3D bioprinting. Rockland
partners with industry leaders to target attractive markets with critical unmet needs. Together
with CEDARVILLE, we foresee that our multi-disciplinary team will make real and meaningful
advances in 3D bioprinting.”
