Abstract:The rapid advancement of 3D bioprinting has created a need for cost-effective and versatile 3D printers capable of handling bio-inks at various scales. This study introduces a novel framework for a specialized nozzle-holding device designed for an extrusion-based 3D bioprinter, specifically tailored to address the rigorous requirements of tissue engineering applications. The proposed system combines a pneumatically actuated plunger mechanism with an adaptive nozzle system, ensuring the safe inhibition and prec… Show more
