Two-step fabrication of clear view SLA millifluidic device for long-term in-vitro cultures

Purpose In vitro millifluidic cultures with perfusion are essential tools to analyse and understand the interactions between cells, their matrix and multi-cell populations. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the design and development of a 3D-printed template that can be used for fabrication of a clear view poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) device. The major objective is to obtain a transparent device prototype that allows perfusion culture of two cell types for multiple days that can be imaged using laser scanning confocal microscopy. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a two-step approach for achieving the final geometric structure at a faster timeline and lower cost. The first part focuses on comparing the fidelity of the printing templates using fused deposition modelling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA) printers for a range of dimensions. They then show that the complex geometry chip with connection chambers can be printed using low resolution low cost FormLab SLA printer. The final optimized design was then printed using high-resolution Projet 6000 SLA printer to obtain smoother structures. Findings In this work, the authors have shown that the FormLab SLA printer yields significantly lower error for printing complex design geometries as compared to FDM printer. Result shows that FormLab printer can be used to achieve a minimum dimension of 0.5 mm. They then use the printer to optimize the device dimension for the culture chip which requires several iterations of printing and experimenting. They showed the two-step protocol of printing the optimized template in a high-resolution SLA printer and further fabricating a clear view millifluidic PDMS device that is compatible confocal microscopy imaging. They used this culture chip for perfusion culture of two cell type, and the controlled fluidic exchange between the two chambers led to the formation of neuroglia junction. Originality/value One of the major bottlenecks for obtaining complex geometry in mili/microfluidic device by 3D printing is the need of multiple iterations on printing. This makes the tuning of dimension significantly expensive. Another challenge is to obtain a smooth surface of PDMS that leads to a leak proof clear view device compatible for laser based confocal imaging. The combination of two printers plays a crucial role for the rapid prototyping of the imaging device with flow control. The proposed approach lowers the cost for prototyping of in vitro culture chip with complex geometries to improve on biological research demanding multi-chamber fluidic device.

Comprehensive Study of Stereolithography and Digital Light Processing Printing of Zirconia Photosensitive Suspensions

Zirconia ceramics are used in a wide range of applications, including dental restorations, bioimplants, and fuel cells, due to their accessibility, biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and favorable mechanical properties. Following the development of 3D printing technologies, it is possible to rapidly print zirconia-based objects with high precision using stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) techniques. The advantages of these techniques include the ability to print multiple objects simultaneously on the printing platform. To align with the quality standards, it is necessary to focus on optimizing processing factors such as the viscosity of the suspension and particle size, as well as the prevention of particle agglomeration and sedimentation during printing, comprising the choice of a suitable debinding and sintering mode. The presented review provides a detailed overview of the recent trends in preparing routes for zirconium oxide bodies; from preparing the suspension through printing and sintering to characterizing mechanical properties. Additionally, the review offers insight into applications of zirconium-based ceramics.

Quick-Delivery Mold Fabricated via Stereolithography to Enhance Manufacturing Efficiency

The ever-growing demand for reducing costs and decreasing the time to market in today’s plastics industry makes rapid tooling and rapid prototyping highly researched areas. Stereolithography (SLA)-manufactured injection mold inserts make it possible to produce prototype parts rapidly and cost-effectively. To utilize SLA in the injection molding industry, two steps have to be considered. The first is to identify suitable SLA process and post-thermal curing process parameters to enhance the mechanical and thermal characteristics. The second is to verify the applicability of SLA-manufactured molds for use in the injection molding industry. IA comprehensive study was performed to find the optimum process parameters for an SLA mold with excellent mechanical and thermal properties and to verify the applicability of the mold. First of all, the mechanical and thermal properties of samples manufactured based on various laser powers and heat treatment at different temperatures were analyzed with a tensile test, DSC, and TMA according to the degree of cure. On the basis of the results from those tests, an SLA mold was designed and fabricated with the optimum mechanical and thermal properties. In addition, the SLA mold was assembled into an injection machine, and an injection molding test was conducted. The SLA mold endured during the injection cycle, and 500 shots were successfully injected without damaging the mold, which resulted in reaching the quick-delivery mold standard. Finally, we demonstrate that SLA is an effective technology to produce molds for use in the injection molding industry.

Towards a 3D-Printed Millifluidic Device for Investigating Cellular Processes

Microfluidic devices (µFDs) have been explored extensively in drug screening and studying cellular processes such as migration and metastasis. However, the fabrication and implementation of microfluidic devices pose cost and logistical challenges that limit wider-spread adoption. Despite these challenges, light-based 3D printing offers a potential alternative to device fabrication. This study reports on the development of millifluidic devices (MiFDs) for disease modeling and elucidates the methods and implications of the design, production, and testing of 3D-printed MiFDs. It further details how such millifluidic devices can be cost-efficiently and effortlessly produced. The MiFD was developed through an iterative process with analytical tests (flow tests, leak tests, cytotoxicity assays, and microscopic analyses), driving design evolution and determination of the suitability of the devices for disease modeling and cancer research. The design evolution also considered flow within tissues and replicates interstitial flow between the main flow path and the modules designed to house and support organ-mimicking cancer cell spheroids. Although the primary stereolithographic (SLA) resin used in this study showed cytotoxic potential despite its biocompatibility certifications, the MiFDs possessed essential attributes for cell culturing. In summary, SLA 3D printing enables the production of MiFDs as a cost-effective, rapid prototyping alternative to standard µFD fabrication for investigating disease-related processes.

The turbojet is the foundation of the gas turbine engine, which combines knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanical design, manufacturing, and jet propulsion. This paper describes in detail the inspiration source, design process, fluid dynamics analysis, manufacturing steps, ignition test method and test process of small jet engines. 3D modeling software SolidWorks was used for the preliminary modeling and fluid simulation was performed to optimize the design. Part of the model was produced by 3D resin printing technology, and the turbine engine model was driven by compressed air for no-load testing to verify the feasibility and structural stability of the resin model. Subsequently, some parts were printed with metal materials, combined with traditional machining techniques to complete production and assembly, and finally successfully carried out static ignition tests. The micro turbojet engine designed in this paper has successfully achieved static ignition test and demonstrated the feasibility of efficient development with limited resources and low manufacturing cost. This exploration proves the feasibility of rapid iteration technology route. The market prospect and manufacturing cost of micro turbojet are also analyzed.

In conclusion, Liqcreate Composite-X demonstrates superior mechanical performance, making it suitable for high-strength applications, while Phrozen's Water-Washable Resin, with lower mechanical properties, is more suited for less demanding uses. This study enhances the understanding and application of SLA-based ceramic composites in various engineering domains.

Biocompatible PVAc-g-PLLA Acrylate Polymers for DLP 3D Printing with Tunable Mechanical Properties.

The technological advancement of Additive Manufacturing has enabled the fabrication of various customized artifacts and devices, which has prompted a huge demand for multimaterials that can cater to stringent mechanical, chemical, and other functional property requirements. Photocurable formulations that are widely used for Digital Light Processing (DLP)/Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing applications are now expected to meet these new challenges of hard and soft or stretchable structural requirements in addition to good resolution in multiple scales. Here we present a biocompatible photocurable resin formulation with tunable mechanical properties that can produce hard or stretchable elastomeric 3D printed materials in a graded manner. Acrylate poly(lactic acid) (PLA) grafted polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) polymer was mixed with hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and hydroxyl ethyl acrylate (HEA) as reactive diluents (50-70 wt %) in various compositions to form a series of photocurable resin formulations. Depending on the nature of the reactive diluent (HEMA or HEA) and their weight percentage, the mechanical properties of the 3D printed parts could be fine-tuned from hard (Tensile strength 20.6 ± 2 MPa, elongation 2 ± 1%) to soft (Tensile strength 1.1 ± 0.2 MPa, elongation 62 ± 8%) materials. The printed materials displayed remarkable dye absorption (95%), showing stimuli-responsive behavior for dye release (with respect to both pH and enzyme), while also demonstrating high cell viability (>90%) for mouse embryonic (WT-MEF) cells and degradability in PBS solution. These biobased 3D printing resins have the potential for a variety of applications, including tissue engineering, soft robotics, dye absorption, and elastomeric actuators.

Development and optimization of hydrogel-forming microneedles fabricated with 3d-printed molds for enhanced dermal diclofenac sodium delivery: a comprehensive in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo study.

With the developing manufacturing technologies, the use of 3D printers in microneedle production is becoming widespread. Hydrogel-forming microneedles (HFMs), a variant of microneedles, demonstrate distinctive features such as a high loading capacity and controlled drug release. In this study, the conical microneedle master molds with approximately 500μm needle height and 250μm base diameter were created using a Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer and were utilized to fabricate composite HFMs containing diclofenac sodium. Using Box-Behnken Design, the effects of different polymers on swelling index and mechanical strength of the developed HFMs were evaluated. The optimum HFMs were selected according to experimental design results with the aim of the highest mechanical strength with varying swelling indexes, which was needed to use 20% Gantrez S97 and 0.1% (F22), 0.42% (F23), and 1% (F24) hyaluronic acid. The skin penetration and drug release properties of the optimum formulations were assessed. Ex vivo studies were conducted on formulations to determine drug penetration and accumulation. F24, which has the highest mechanical strength and optimized swelling index, achieved the highest drug accumulation in the skin tissue (17.70 ± 3.66%). All optimum HFMs were found to be non-cytotoxic by the MTT cell viability test (> 70% cell viability). In in vivo studies, the efficacy of the F24 was assessed for the treatment of xylene-induced ear edema by contrasting it to the conventional dosage form. It was revealed that HFMs might be an improved replacement for conventional dosage forms in terms of dermal diseases such as actinic keratosis.

Stereolithography Printing and Mechanical Properties of Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate/Hexagonal Boron Nitride Ceramic Composites

To enhance the mechanical properties of bioceramic composite bone scaffolds, a composite paste of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) with a solid content of up to 42 wt% was developed in this study. The part was produced using stereolithography (SLA). The SLA printing parameters and material ratios of the paste were optimized through a homogeneous design and mechanical property tests. The results indicate that the single‐line curing width of the PEGDA/h‐BN paste in the XY plane ranged from 172 to 209 μm, while the curing depth of a single layer along the Z‐axis ranged from 99 to 154 μm. Laser power was identified as the primary factor influencing both the width and depth of curing. The compressive strength of the printed sample of PEGDA/h‐BN ceramic composite paste was measured at 222.4 ± 5.6 MPa, which is 61 times greater than the compressive strength of a pure PEGDA structure and comparable to that of cortical bone (100‐230 MPa). Finally, the superior biocompatibility of PEGDA/h‐BN ceramics was confirmed through cytotoxicity experiments. Consequently, PEGDA/h‐BN ceramic composites meet the mechanical properties and biocompatibility requirements necessary for bone tissue applications, indicating promising potential in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Comparative analysis of mechanical and drilling properties: Human skull vs. 3D-printed replicas for neurosurgical training

Neurosurgery is one of the most difficult surgical disciplines, making neurosurgical simulation crucial for learners. 3D printing is increasingly used for this simulation due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional methods. Previous studies have qualitatively evaluated the efficacy of 3D printing models for burr hole and craniotomy simulation using surgeon feedback. This study quantitatively evaluates the mechanical properties of human skulls and compares them with 3D-printed skulls to identify the necessary materials and technologies for accurate replication in neurosurgical training. Vickers hardness, compression, and drilling simulation tests were conducted on human cadaveric skulls and 3D-printed models manufactured using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Stereolithography (SLA), and Material Jetting (MJ) technologies. Uniaxial force during a simulated burr hole procedure was measured as drilling progressed through the outer table (OT), diploë and inner table (IT) of the skull. The results showed that different 3D printing technologies and materials have qualities corresponding to each of the three layers of the human skull. For instance, the White Resin 40 model was the closest match to the OT of human skull, exhibiting the lowest mean difference of drilling modulus of 1.98. The OT of the human skull had a Vickers hardness of 38.6 ± 5 HV0.05. The closest 3D-printed models were SLA White at 16.6 ± 0.3 HV0.05 and Rigid 10K at 65.7 ± 3 HV0.05. In terms of mechanical properties, the human skull demonstrated a compression modulus that closely matched the SkullSTN 2, PC 60, PEEK 40, and PEEK 60, with differences of less than 0.1 GPa. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of drilling simulation tests in evaluating various materials and infills to refine models before neurosurgeon evaluation, enabling the identification of an optimal 3D-printed training model for simulating burr hole procedures.

Analysis of Geometrical Accuracy and Surface Quality of Threaded and Spline Connections Manufactured Using MEX, MJ and VAT Additive Technologies

This paper presents the process of manufacturing mechanical joint components using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as Material Extrusion (Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)), Material Jetting (PolyJet), and Vat Photopolymerization (VAT)/Stereolithography (SLA). Using the PolyJet technique and a photopolymer resin, spline and threaded joint components were produced. For comparative analysis, the threaded joint was also fabricated using FDM and SLA techniques. PLA material was used for the FDM technique, while photopolymer resin was utilized for the SLA process. The components produced underwent a surface analysis to evaluate the accuracy of the dimensions in relation to the nominal dimensions. For the spline connection components, the dimensional deviations recorded by a 3D scanner ranged from −0.11 to +0.18 mm for the shaft and up to 0.24 mm for the sleeve. Measurements of screw and nut diameters showed the highest accuracy for screws produced using the PolyJet technique, while the nuts exhibited the best accuracy when fabricated with the SLA method. The profile of the screw threads using a contour gauge revealed the most accurate thread profile on the screw manufactured with the PolyJet technique.

Analysis of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions in 3D Printing: Implications for Indoor Air Quality

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in the context of 3D printing, a rapidly advancing technology that is transforming manufacturing processes. As the adoption of 3D printing grows, concerns regarding its potential impact on indoor air quality have emerged. This research addresses these concerns by investigating the risks associated with VOC emissions and proposing effective mitigation strategies. Using a robust methodology, filament and resin-based 3D printers were employed alongside VOC sampling equipment (Tenax tubes and personal pumps) to assess emissions. A detailed analysis of 49 VOCs revealed variable concentrations across different printing materials, with ethyl acetate being the dominant compound in resin printing and decanal in filament printing. While individual VOC levels were below 1% of occupational exposure limits, total VOC concentrations frequently exceeded the recommended indoor threshold of 200 µg/m3, particularly in resin-based processes. This raises concerns about the combined effects of multiple VOCs, some of which are known carcinogens. These findings underscore the need for further investigation into the cumulative health impacts of prolonged exposure to multiple VOCs. The study also emphasises the importance of accounting for both facility-specific conditions and material emissions to fully understand the environmental and health consequences of 3D printing. Preventative measures, such as enclosing 3D printers and equipping them with extraction systems, are recommended to safeguard user health.

Definition, Fabrication, and Compression Testing of Sandwich Structures with Novel TPMS-Based Cores

Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) constitute a type of metamaterial, deriving their unique characteristics from their microstructure topology. They exhibit wide parameterization possibilities, but their behavior is hard to predict. This study focuses on using an implicit modeling method that can effectively generate novel thin-walled metamaterials, proposing eight shell-based TPMS topologies and one stochastic structure, along with the gyroid acting as a reference. After insights into the printability and design parameters of the proposed samples are presented, a cell homogeneity analysis is conducted, indicating the level of anisotropy of each cellular structure. For each of the designed metamaterials, multiple samples were printed using a stereolithography (SLA) method, using a constant 0.3 relative density and 50 µm resolution. To provide an understanding of their behavior, compression tests of sandwich-type specimens were performed and specific deformation modes were identified. Furthermore, the study estimates the general mechanical behavior of the novel TPMS cores at different relative densities using an open cell mathematical model. Alterations of the uniform topologies are then suggested and the way these modifications affect the compressive response are presented. Thus, this paper demonstrates that an implicit modeling method could easily generate novel thin-walled TPMSs and stochastic structures, which led to identifying an artificially designed structure with superior properties to already mature topologies, such as the gyroid.

Optimization of Resin Printing Parameters for Improved Surface Roughness Using Metaheuristic Algorithms: A Multifaceted Approach

Rapid Whole-Plate Cell and Tissue Micropatterning Using a Budget 3D Resin Printer.

The ability to precisely pattern cells and proteins is crucial in various scientific disciplines, including cell biology, bioengineering, and materials chemistry. Current techniques, such as microcontact stamping, 3D bioprinting, and direct photopatterning, have limitations in terms of cost, versatility, and throughput. In this Article, we present an accessible approach that combines the throughput of photomask systems with the versatility of programmable light patterning using a low-cost consumer LCD resin printer. The method involves utilizing a bioinert hydrogel, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), and a 405 nm sensitive photoinitiator (LAP) that are selectively cross-linked to form a hydrogel upon light exposure, creating specific regions that are protein and cell-repellent. Our result highlights that a low-cost LCD resin printer can project virtual photomasks onto the hydrogel, allowing for reasonable resolution and large-area printing at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. The study demonstrates the calibration of exposure times for optimal resolution and accuracy and shape corrections to overcome the inherent challenges of wide-field resin printing. The potential of this approach is validated through widely studied 2D and 3D stem cell applications, showcasing its biocompatibility and ability to replicate complex tissue engineering patterns. We also validate the method with a cell-adhesive polymer (gelatin methacrylate; GelMA). The combination of low cost, high throughput, and accessibility makes this method broadly applicable across fields for enabling rapid and precise fabrication of cells and tissues in standard laboratory culture vessels.

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of ABS-like Resin for Stereolithography Versus ABS for Fused Deposition Modeling in Three-Dimensional Printing Applications for Odontology.

This study investigates the differences in mechanical properties between acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) samples produced using fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA) using ABS filaments and ABS-like resin, respectively. The central question is to determine how these distinct printing techniques affect the properties of ABS and ABS-like resin and which method delivers superior performance for specific applications, particularly in dental treatments. The evaluation methods used in this study included Shore D hardness, accelerated aging, tensile testing, Izod impact testing, flexural resistance measured by a 3-point bending test, and compression testing. Poisson's ratio was also assessed, along with microstructure characterization, density measurement, confocal microscopy, dilatometry, wettability, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nanoindentation. It was concluded that ABS has the same hardness in both manufacturing methods; however, the FDM process results in significantly superior mechanical properties compared to SLA. Microscopy demonstrates a more accurate sample geometry when fabricated with SLA. It is also concluded that printable ABS is suitable for applications in dentistry to fabricate models and surgical guides using the SLA and FDM methods, as well as facial protectors for sports using the FDM method.

Development of an Oral Epithelial Ex Vivo Organ Culture Model for Biocompatibility and Permeability Assessment of Biomaterials.

In the present study, a customized device (Epi-ExPer) was designed and fabricated to facilitate an epithelial organ culture, allowing for controlled exposure to exogenous chemical stimuli and accommodating the evaluation of permeation of the tissue after treatment. The Epi-ExPer system was fabricated using a stereolithography (SLA)-based additive manufacturing (AM) method. Human and porcine oral epithelial mucosa tissues were inserted into the device and exposed to resinous monomers commonly released by dental restorative materials. The effect of these xenobiotics on the morphology, viability, permeability, and expression of relevant markers of the oral epithelium was evaluated. Tissue culture could be performed with the desired orientation of air-liquid interface (ALI) conditions, and exposure to xenobiotics was undertaken in a spatially guarded and reproducible manner. Among the selected monomers, HEMA and TEGDMA reduced tissue viability at high concentrations, while tissue permeability was increased by the latter. Xenobiotics affected the histological image by introducing the vacuolar degeneration of epithelial cells and increasing the expression of panCytokeratin (pCK). Epi-ExPer device offers a simple, precise, and reproducible study system to evaluate interactions of oral mucosa with external stimuli, providing a biocompatibility and permeability assessment tool aiming to an enhanced in vitro/ex vivo-to-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) that complies with European Union (EU) and Food and Durg Administration (FDI) policies.

Optimization of a Hydrogen-Fueled Parametric Strut Injector Using an Automated Workflow Computational Fluid Dynamics Method

Abstract A strut injector for burning hydrogen has been optimized using an automated workflow system. In order to choose the optimal set of injectors to cover the design space, an optimized design of experiments (DOE) method was used to automatically choose the parameters that best spanned the design space. One hundred candidate designs were chosen, and a script was used to generate a series of stereolithography (STL) files for each design. The STL files were then uploaded to a supercomputer for computational fluid dynamics analysis. For each of the 100 designs, a four step process was followed to generate the required data, and this included an automated mesh generation step, a field initialization step, a mesh adaptation step, and finally an large eddy simulation all within the yales2 numerical framework. In order to reduce the time required for postprocessing and the amount of data required, the simulations relied heavily on an on-the-fly postprocessing methodology, which reduced the complex time-unsteady flow fields to a small number of quantified outputs of interest that measured the suitability of each design such as the pressure drop across the injector and the efficiency of the mixing process. At the conclusion of these simulations, automated scripts translated these outputs into a smaller set of parameters that could be used to compare each design and allow subsequent optimization and surrogate modeling. Several surrogate modeling methods were attempted with mixed results; however, a simple classification methodology quickly identified the parameters of interest.

Toward painless road-cycling for women: Innovative pressure distribution through lattice-based seat pads

Potential health risks for male athletes in professional road cycling are numerously investigated. For female athletes, necessary information is missing and thus there is a lack of equipment meeting their specific needs. The different pelvic anatomy of women compared to men suggests different saddle designs, different cycling short pads, and even different types of material to avoid pain and health problems. To collect data for a systematic development of pads specifically for women, we performed a study with 29 ambitious female athletes, who road cycle long distances (>90 min) at least once a week. First, we documented each athlete’s recent cycling situation, including the perceived comfort, grievances and the equipment used. Second, molds of the pelvis-saddle interfaces were generated using a previously developed measurement saddle to analyze pressure distributions during both static and dynamic loading. Measures were taken using the idmatch system following a bike fitting, which suggested a bicycle setup incorporating, among other factors, the individual athlete’s anthropometric data. Molds were subsequently digitized with a calibrated 3D scanner. Third, the digital pressure data resulting from the molds was analyzed considering its ability to represent interindividual differences, which validated the developed measurement saddle. Finally, a novel lattice-based pad prototype was designed based on the measured pressure data. Finite element analyses (FEA) were carried out to observe mechanical loads in the lattice structure and enable an optimization of the design. The prototype was additively manufactured using stereolithography (SLA).

Recently, advancements in fabrication technology have brought a new aspect to the field of tissue engineering. By utilizing advanced techniques in 3D manufacturing and biomaterials, scientists have successfully created tissue engineering scaffolds with complex three-dimensional structures and customized chemical compositions that closely mimic the natural environment of living tissues. These methodologies show potential not only for developing therapies that restore lost tissue function but also for creating in vitro models that replicate living tissue. The current investigation involved the synthesis of methacrylated polycaprolactone (PCLMA) by incorporating methacryloyl chloride (Meth-Cl) into polycaprolactone (PCL) with a molecular weight of 80,000 Da. Afterwards, PCLMA was subjected to crosslinking with glycerol acrylate (GA) and, by utilizing Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (TPO) as a photoinitiator, achieved the three-dimensional (3D) printing of tissue materials using Stereolithography (SLA). Analytical techniques included nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cell viability was investigated using Human Osteoblast (HOB) cells. The biocompatibility of glycerol acrylate (GA) crosslinked polymethacrylated polycaprolactone (PCLMA) was confirmed using cell viability experiments. Overall, the GA-crosslinked PCLMA bioresin, particularly PCLMA-8, shows promise for further use in tissue engineering applications.
