The Capitula Platform
What is Capitula?
Capitula is a unified data platform for biofabrication and 3D cell culture. It comprises five integrated modules — BioSlicer, Calendula, Cosmos, Helianthus, and Solidago — that together cover the full experimental lifecycle: planning, execution, capture, analysis, and prediction.
Most labs today stitch together generic slicers, paper notebooks, and ad-hoc scripts. The data never connects. Capitula replaces that patchwork with structured infrastructure designed for the way biofabrication actually works — so you can ask questions across experiments, train models on your own data, and ship reproducible science.
Why Capitula vs. the Status Quo
Where biofabrication labs lose time today
| Workflow Step | Traditional | Capitula | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data capture | Paper notebooks, scattered files | Structured ELN/LIMS (Calendula) | Searchable, traceable |
| Parameter optimization | Manual trial-and-error | Design-of-experiments (Cosmos) | Faster convergence |
| QC and analysis | Manual image scoring | Automated ML pipelines (Helianthus) | Reproducible, quantitative |
| Print path planning | Generic slicers | Bio-aware slicing (BioSlicer) | Cell-friendly toolpaths |
| Predictive modeling | None | Computational models (Solidago) | In-silico screening |
| Workflow integration | Disconnected tools | Unified Capitula platform | End-to-end traceability |
Why Capitula Matters
Capitula bridges the gap between benchwork and computational biology
By treating biofabrication as a data discipline, Capitula enables…
Reproducibility
Capture every variable that mattered — and every one you might wish you had — in a structured record you can search, share, and reproduce.
ML-Ready Data
Stop training on what you can scrape together. Capitula structures your data from day one, so your models learn from your science — not from your filenames.
Fast Iteration
Design-of-experiments tools, predictive models, and automated QC compress weeks of guess-and-check into days of directed exploration.
Applications
Built for the labs pushing biofabrication forward.
From academic research to clinical translation, Capitula supports the teams building the next generation of engineered tissues, disease models, and personalized therapies.
Tissue Engineering
Disease Modeling
Build physiologically relevant 3D models with the rigor that screening campaigns require. Reproducible constructs, quantitative QC, traceable provenance.
Move from one-off prints to systematic studies. Capture print parameters, cell viability, and construct performance in one searchable record.
Bench-to-Bedside
Process Development
When your work has to stand up to a regulator, an auditor, or a reviewer, Capitula's structured data and full audit trail are already there.
Optimize bioink formulations and print parameters with design-of-experiments tooling that converges in fewer runs and with less wasted material.
Each Capitula module solves a specific problem in the biofabrication workflow. Together, they form a single connected system — so the data you capture in one module is immediately useful in the next.
Bio-Slicer
Purpose built tool path generator for extrusion and light-based biofabrication with both adaptive path and material capacity
Capitula Modules
Cosmos
Parameter space exploration. Design-of-experiments tooling that helps teams converge on viable print conditions in fewer iterations.
Helianthus
Quality control and model training. Automated analysis pipelines and ML training infrastructure to data into quantitative QC.
Calendula
Electronic lab notebook and LIMS purpose-built for biofabrication. Captures every parameter, sample, and observation in a structured, queryable record.
Solidago
Computational modeling. Physics-based and data-driven models that predict construct behavior before you print, reducing wasted material and time.
