What we do
BIOVOX is 3D printing biopolymers. We are a startup that strives to establish bioplastics as 3D-printable material. We are working on a range of medical and consumer applications. In the field of med tech we want to adress endoprothetics and materials for osteosynthesis.
Renewable materials are the basis for the next generation of medical implants and prosthesises.
We want to make using biodegradable implants easy for you, the medical professional. We want your fracture to heal faster and reduce risk and inconvenience for you, the patient. And we want to cut costs for you, the health insurance company.
To finance med tech development, we work on shorter time-to-market products for consumer, creating impact by using food waste and renewable resources to create products that are sustainable and depending on the material even antiseptic.
Our core technology is the 3D-printing process for biodegradable materials. To achieve best results, we set up a digital process chain and a qualified supply chain.
We have developed a new technology that enables printing biopolymers, some of which have outstanding properties:
- They are biodegradable: you can decompose them within a reasonable time. Without polluting the body or the evironment with free microplastics or toxic substances. This often renders surgery to remove implants obsolete. Medical risk and costs for most osteosynthesis therapy are almost cut by 50%.
- Antibacterial and fungicidal characteristics reduce the risk of complications.
- 3D printing from CT or MRT scans: Utilization of a fully digital process chain provides the chance for creating individually taylored implants (decomposition speed, geometry and stiffness)
- We use sustainable biopolymers from renewable raw materials.
Our technology is currently in the prototyping phase.

Who we are? A team!
Besides our team, we have an interdisciplinary advisory board consisting of experts for corporate finance, sales in the field of medtech, material scientists, and physicians. Some of them are professors, some consultants, others are senior managers. We are happy to work together with our advisory board and getting critical feedback. If you also want to contribute to BIOVOX – contact us!
Till has worked with the development of safety critical mechatronic systems in one of the lead suppliers for automotive brake systems. He has done research in the field of product development, namely how to control uncertainty in complex systems. He has a PhD in mechanical engineering and had a company building surfboards while he was doing his studies.
Julian built an internal consultancy in a technology corporation. The department was involved in interdisciplinary projects and dealt with product- and portfolio management. Besides having a PhD in mechanical engineering he had a company consulting to various orthopedics and machine building companies.
Carmen has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, focussing on material science and production. She participated in research projects on ressource-efficient production and cellulose-based materials for construction applications. She has worked in a premium automotive company in the field of sustainability.

Who BIOVOX convinced yet
BIOVOX was able to win a Hessen Ideen Stipendium. A Jury of experts evaluated our Idea and we were granted financing for 6 months as well as participation on their accelerator program.
- A number of companies gave us letters of intent for development partnerships. Our partners are working in plant construction, machinery and model making sectors.
- We were participants and finalists (TOP 5) of the TU Darmstadt Ideenwettbewerb, an ideas competition of Technische Universität Darmstadt at the Startup & Innovation Day 2019.
