Abstract

A computer aided manufacturing approach to encapsulate viable mammalian cells in hydrogels and use these capsules as the building blocks for scaffolds. A novel 3D capable contactless bioprinter is presented that encapsulates cells in a alginate hydrogel through an electro hydro dynamic process and deposit these capsules on a specifically engineered substrate manufacturing scaffold without the need for further postprocessing.
