Compatibility of 3D printing materials and printing techniques with PAGAT gel dosimetry

3D Printing Techniques and Applications in Medicine

3D printing, first created in 1984 for rapid industrial prototyping [1], has evolved to providing a platform to produce complex anatomic models, device prototypes, and models for pre-surgical planning. Radiology plays a key role in the advances of 3D printing uses and technologies in medicine as the evolution of high resolution scans have paved the way for these types of applications. This arti...

3D printing scaffolds with hydrogel materials for biomedical applications

3D printing has now been recognized as a very practical technique to create 3D structures with milli-/micron-scale resolution. In tissue engineering, particularly, people utilize 3D printing technique to integrate biodegradable polymers to tissue scaffolds. Hydrogel is highly potential material that provides aqua environment and enables nutrition and oxygen transportation, all of which are requ...

Fabrication of Capacitive Acoustic Resonators Combining 3D Printing and 2D Inkjet Printing Techniques

A capacitive acoustic resonator developed by combining three-dimensional (3D) printing and two-dimensional (2D) printed electronics technique is described. During this work, a patterned bottom structure with rigid backplate and cavity is fabricated directly by a 3D printing method, and then a direct write inkjet printing technique has been employed to print a silver conductive layer. A novel ap...

3D Printing of Living Responsive Materials and Devices.

3D printing has been intensively explored to fabricate customized structures of responsive materials including hydrogels, liquid-crystal elastomers, shape-memory polymers, and aqueous droplets. Herein, a new method and material system capable of 3D-printing hydrogel inks with programed bacterial cells as responsive components into large-scale (3 cm), high-resolution (30 μm) living materials, wh...
