3D-Printer prints using bioink – ink droplets that are alive With growing interest in the field of research to utilize 3D printing to produce biological structures, scientists have outlined “living ink” or “bio-ink”. A 3D-Printer prints using bioink – ink droplets that are alive
Important Details
- This process works by arranging cells to create small living fibres.
- These fibres are used as bioink in a 3D printer to create different shapes.
- This bioink doesn’t use any artificial substances and can keep its form after drying out.
- The approach differs from previous ones in the way it uses methods to control the properties of the ink itself.
- This leads to better results and more practical uses.
- For example, the existing bioinks have difficulties in working at room temperatures, but now this “bioink”.
- In the near future, possibilities are very exciting – from creating self-healing structures to bottle caps that remove dangerous chemicals from water.
