AUTOLOGOUS CELL MULTIDIMENSIONAL MOLDING APPARATUS
The present invention discloses an autologous cell multidimensional molding apparatus, which can customize an artificial implant by using an autologous cell. The autologous cell multidimensional molding apparatus comprises a barotropic room, an autologous cell culturing module, a supplying module, a multi-axis molding module, and an implant saving module. The autologous cell culturing module cultivates the autologous cells and sends the autologous cells to the supplying module to mix with polymer materials to be combined autologous cells. The multi-axis molding module prints the combined autologous cells to be artificial implants for carrying and saving the combined autologous cells by the implant saving module. Wherein, the barotropic room is filled with a gas having pressure greater than an ambient pressure. The modules listed above are all inside the barotropic room and connected by closed pipes. Thus, compared to the prior art, the present invention can customize the artificial implants and effectively enhance the yield of the preparation of the artificial implants.
