Abstract

Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology Engineering Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Technology
Various types of bio-fabrication methods have been developed to manufacture products with living cells incorporated via mechanical means. One of fundamental questions that need to be answered is whether cells remain viable and/or functional when subjected to these mechanical disturbances. In this paper, we focus on a 3D cell-printing process via pressure induced deposition. Our experimental studies show that process parameters such as pressure applied and nozzle size affect the cell viability. Given that the cells are suspended in the alginate solution during the printing process, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis is employed to model the pressure-driven flow system and determine the local environment that the living cells are in under varying process parameters. Effects of obtained wall shear stress and exposure time are examined in terms of cell damage based on the corresponding experimental data.
