Estimating the term…
Aspects of the disclosure include a fabrication platform for supporting a bioprinted fiber structures during printing, patterning, and/or processing, comprising a frame with a plurality of posts for securing a cross-linkable fiber during printing thereof, and where a continuous length of the cross-linkable fiber is printed around a plurality of posts during the 3D bioprinting process. The fabrication platform enables the cross-linkable fiber to be suspended during one or more of printing, patterning, and/or processing. In this way, the bioprinted fiber structure comprises a uniform outer surface, and can be easily modified and/or further processed after printing and patterning are completed.
Fabrication platform for supporting a bioprinted fiber structure during printing, patterning and/or processing, wherein said platform comprises a frame defining a void and comprising a plurality of posts on opposing sides of the frame for securing and suspending at least one cross-linkable fiber within said frame to form said fiber structure, wherein a continuous length of said at least one fiber is printed around at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more of said posts during the 3D bioprinting process.
Means for suspending a bioprinted fiber structure during printing, patterning and/or processing, wherein said means for suspending comprises a frame coupled to a mounting bracket and/or a receiving surface of a bioprinting system, said frame comprising a plurality of posts encircling the frame for securing a continuous length of at least one cross-linkable fiber forming said fiber structure.
