Abstract
Methods of fabricating three-dimensional objects featuring properties of a soft bodily tissue and three-dimensional objects featuring properties of a soft bodily tissue or of an organ comprising same are provided.
Claims18
A three-dimensional object featuring a hardness of a soft bodily tissue, comprising:
- voxels of a material having a Shore A hardness lower than 10 or a Shore 00 hardness lower than 40 and characterized by Tear Resistance of from about 150 N/m to about 500 N/m, and being a hardened form of a formulation which comprises photocurable materials and non-curable polymeric materials, wherein a total amount of said non-curable materials ranges from 10 to 49% by weight, of the total weight of said formulation;
- and
- voxels of an additional material which is a hardened form of an elastomeric curable formulation and is characterized by Tear Resistance of at least 4,000 N/m,
- wherein said voxels of said material and said voxels of said additional material are interlaced with each other, such that said voxels of said additional material form a scaffold for said voxels of said material.
