6. Pressure: Tap to set pneumatic pressure flow, which determines material flow out of
the nozzle. (Pressure should be between 0-200 kPa with the internal air compressor
and between 0-700 kPa with an external air compressor). Extrusion pressure
depends mainly on the viscosity and rheological properties of the material to be
printed.
7. Print speed: Tap to select the speed of the printhead.
8. Temperature: Enable and set printhead temperature.
9. Flow delay: Set to compensate for delayed and excess extrusion.
10. External pressure pump: Tap to indicate if an external pressure pump is connected
to the BIO X6.
11. Preview: A preview of the printing process including the selected surface, 3D models
and layer parameters.
12. Toolhead bar: Displays the toolheads indicated to be involved in the bioprinting
process. Each tool is given a color for identifying the layers it must print of the 3D
model in the preview (11).
