Claims16
A method of making a biofabricated material, the method comprising:
- providing a collagen concentrate;
- providing a substrate;
- placing the collagen concentrate on the substrate;
- placing the substrate with the collagen concentrate in a heated press;
- pressing and heating the substrate with the collagen concentrate and cooling the substrate with the collagen concentrate to produce a biofabricated material.
The method of claim 58, wherein the substrate is pressed from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
A method of applying a collagen solution to a substrate, the method comprising:
- spraying a collagen solution onto a sheet of acetate forming a collagen coated side of the acetate sheet;
- drying the collagen;
- spraying an adhesive onto the collagen;
- placing a substrate onto the collagen coated side of the acetate sheet;
- placing the substrate and the collagen coated acetate sheet in a heated press;
- pressing the substrate and the collagen coated acetate sheet;
- cooling the substrate and the collagen coated acetate sheet;
- and removing the acetate sheet to produce a biofabricated material.
A method of making a three-dimensional biofabricated material, the method comprising:
- applying a solution comprising collagen to a substrate to form a three dimensional shape, optionally repeating the applying;
- drying the collagen on the substrate, and optionally shaping the three-dimensional shape.
