Capillary-Embedded Rapid Adaptable Multiscale (CERAM) Bioprinting for Engineering Large Vascularized Tissues

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

The proposed technology represents a novel hybrid 3D bioprinting approach that can rapidly incorporate thousands of porous microtubes that function as capillary vessels to a centimeter-sized 3D printed scaffold within several minutes. The proposed invention is 10-fold faster and exhibits 10-fold higher resolution than existing technologies.
