Inventors at Stanford University have developed a light-based 3D printing system that achieves high printing resolutions and fast printing speeds with cell-compatible natural protein biomaterials when compared to existing methods.
This invention describes reinforced grafts made from biocompatible materials that are designed for use in surgical procedures such as coronary bypass graft surgery, vascular surgery, and arteriovenous fistula.
Background: Researchers at Stanford have discovered a method to create lattice microneedle structures using high resolution continuous liquid interface printing (CLIP) technology.
Stanford researchers have designed a hydrogel system which allows for the easy encapsulation of cells and biomolecules without requiring external changes in environmental conditions or exposure to chemical crosslinkers.
Stanford researchers successfully manufactured high quality optical components using commercially available 3D printing. The 3D printed optics were easy to fabricate and inexpensive.
