Abstract
In an apparatus for manufacturing a scaffold and a scaffold manufactured by the apparatus, a collector is disposed under a dispensing head that dispenses melted bio materials (polymer) for manufacturing the scaffold. The collector has a cylindrical tube shape. Both sides of the tube shape are fixed. Thus, the tube is securely fixed and bending of the tube is prevented. Also, accuracy and preciseness of the scaffold are improved.
Claims17
An apparatus for manufacturing a scaffold comprising:
- a dispensing head 100 including:
- a liquid storing part 110 that stores melted bio materials (polymer);
- a nozzle part 120 dispensing the melted bio materials (polymer) supplied from the liquid storing part 110;
- and
- a heating part 130 controlling temperature of the melted bio materials (polymer) stored in the liquid storing part 110;
- a collector 200 having a cylindrical shape, the collector 200 being disposed under the dispensing head 100 to collect the melted bio materials (polymer) dispensed through the nozzle part 120;
- a dispensing position controller 300 transporting the dispensing head 100 or the collector 200 in a direction selected from the group consisting of an X direction, a Y direction and a Z direction to control dispensing position;
- and
- a collecting position controller 400 including:
- a pair of supporting parts 410 spaced apart from each other in an extending direction of the collector 200;
- a pair of fixing parts 420 disposed on the supporting parts 410, respectively, the fixing parts 420 holding and fixing both ends of the collector 200;
- a transporting part 430 that transports at least one of the supporting parts 410 in the extending direction of the collector 200;
- and
- a rotating part 440 disposed at least one of the fixing parts 420 to rotate the collector 200 along the extending direction as an axis.
