| Abstract Scope |
In this work, we demonstrated building a low-cost bio 3D printer by adapting a syringe pump extruder to a regular Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) plastic 3D printer. The relationship between the ink composition, viscosity, and extruder size, were investigated. In parallel with the experimental tests, we developed a CAD model that helps visualize the motion mechanisms. The printer has the potential to fabricate biomaterials that maximally imitate biological tissues and cells. |
