Methods, devices, and systems for the fabrication of materials and tissues utilizing electromagnetic radiation
The present invention provides a three-dimensional bioprinter for fabricating cellular constructs such as tissues and organs using electromagnetic radiation (EMR) at or above 405 nm. The bioprinter includes a material deposition device comprising a cartridge for receiving and holding a composition which contains biomaterial that cures after exposure to EMR. The bioprinter also includes an EMR module that emits EMR at a wavelength of about 405 nm or higher. Also provided is a bioprinter cartridge which contains cells and a material curable at a wavelength of about 405 nm or greater. The cells are present in a chamber and are extruded through an orifice to form the cellular construct.
Prosthetic tissue valve and method of treating the same
A prosthetic tissue valve and a method of treating the prosthetic tissue valve are provided. The method includes: decreasing a temperature of a chamber carrying the prosthetic tissue valve from a first preset temperature to a second preset temperature in a first cooling rate; decreasing the temperature of the chamber carrying the prosthetic tissue valve from the second preset temperature to a third preset temperature in a second cooling rate; and performing a drying process to the prosthetic tissue valve. The second preset temperature is a critical crystallization temperature and is greater than a crystallization temperature of the prosthetic tissue valve. The third preset temperature is lower than the crystallization temperature of the prosthetic tissue valve, and the second cooling rate is greater than the first cooling rate.

Methods and systems herein relate to forming an upper dental appliance chassis including at least two upper appliance button protrusions; forming a lower dental appliance chassis including at least two lower appliance button protrusions and at least two vertical displacement bite pads; injection overmolding a first thermoplastic on the upper dental appliance chassis to provide a first reformable thermoplastic layer integrated with the upper dental appliance chassis that exposes the at least two upper appliance button protrusions to form an upper dental tray; and injection overmolding a second thermoplastic on the upper dental appliance chassis to provide a second reformable thermoplastic layer integrated with the lower dental appliance chassis that exposes the at least two lower appliance button protrusions and the at least two vertical displacement bite pads to form a bottom dental tray.
Additive manufacturing on unconstrained freeform surfaces
Systems and techniques are described for additive manufacturing, e.g., 3D printing, a component on an unconstrained freeform build surface. The systems and techniques may allow determining a 3D trajectory and/or deformation of a target deposition region on the build surface by determining a relative location of at least one registration feature on the build surface. Control circuitry may control, based on the 3D trajectory and/or deformation and based on a build model of the component, at least one dispenser to cause dispensing of at least one composition from the at least one dispenser in a predetermined pattern on or adjacent to the target deposition region. The predetermined pattern of the composition defines at least one portion of the component.

THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES COMPRISING WATER-SOLUBLE PEO GRAFT POLYMERS FOR USE AS A SACRIFICIAL SUPPORT IN 3D ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
A method for preparing a vapor sensitive sacrificial support material. The method may include decomposing a polycondensed PEO polymer with heat in the presence of a graphene-like material to release PEO polymer radicals from the polycondensed PEO polymer, such that at least a portion of the PEO polymer radicals become trapped on at least a portion of a surface of the graphene-like material to form a coated graphene-like material, which may be defined as a structural reinforcement material. The method may further include forming the vapor sensitive water-soluble thermoplastic polyethylene oxide graft polymer. The vapor sensitive water-soluble thermoplastic polyethylene oxide graft polymer may include a polyethylene oxide polymer backbone. The vapor sensitive water-soluble thermoplastic polyethylene oxide graft polymer may further include one or more nanoscopic particulate processing aids. The structural reinforcement material may be uniformly dispersed in the vapor sensitive water-soluble thermoplastic polymer composite.
