摘要

Cryotechnologies play a critical role in biomedicine, particularly in the preservation and handling of biological material. With the growing demand for practical training in this domain, we explore the development of a modular training system combining biomedical engineering and additive manufacturing (AM). Focusing on systems developed within the Cryolab of the Institute of Multiphase Processes, we identified key laboratory applications and translated them into modular components. Particular attention is given to the cryomicroscope, for which we designed system architecture, created 3D models using Autodesk Inventor, and fabricated selected elements via 3D printing. Hardware was supplemented with electronic control systems and custom software integrating stepper motors and basic user-interface logic. Although not yet tested in an educational setting, the system serves as a working prototype. Future development aims to expand module functionality, improve interactivity, and enhance software detail to enable modular assembly and disassembly. A major direction is the transformation of the current physical trainer into a virtual reality environment, allowing broader access to cryotechnology education through virtual reality headsets and simulation platforms.
