Research in cell printing by piezoelectric inkjet printer has been conducted, however, relatively reliable single-cells printing yield had not been obtained. We proposed a different approach to increase the yield in single-cells printing by utilizing piezoelectric driving method not used in recent inkjet printer devices, push-pull method. Furthermore, cell recognition system constructed by imag...

Organ printing offers a great potential for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) living organs by precisely layer-by-layer placing various tissue spheroids. Such fabricated organs may replace some damaged or injured human organs, emerging as a promising solution to the problem of organ donor shortage. As one of the key enabling technologies for organ printing, inkjetting has been received ...

and reconstruction plates and morphologic reconstruction of bony defect areas are possible uses of 3D printing in fracture surgery or reconstructive surgery. The 3D printing technique can also be utilized in other areas of oral and maxillofacial surgery. For example, it would be very helpful to be able to design and fabricate a customized non-absorbable barrier of titanium mesh. In addition, 3D...

The printing plate and its characteristics in the conventional printing techniques have a significant impact on print quality and image appearance. In screen printing, a weave of screen mesh i.e. a number of threads per cm, is the most important characteristic of the printing plate, hence the most relevant factor which defines printing quality. Print quality itself is a complex term that includ...

Plasmonic colour printing has drawn wide attention as a promising candidate for the next-generation colour-printing technology. However, an efficient approach to realize full colour and scalable fabrication is still lacking, which prevents plasmonic colour printing from practical applications. Here we present a scalable and full-colour plasmonic printing approach by combining conjugate twin-pha...

Electrophotographic printers are required to provide photograph quality printing with the rapid implementation of color in an office environment and meet the needs for POD*1). The printing quality of conventional color electrophotographic printers is no longer capable of adequately satisfying the needs of customers. Furthermore, printing systems with a high resolution are used in the pre-press ...

Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a technology that builds three-dimensional structures and components layer by layer. Bioprinting is the use of 3D printing technology to fabricate tissue constructs for regenerative medicine from cell-laden bio-inks. 3D printing and bioprinting have huge potential in revolutionizing the field of tissue engineering and regenerative ...

Inkjet printing is an advanced printing technology that has been used to develop conducting layers, interconnects and other features on a variety of substrates. It is an additive manufacturing process that offers cost-effective, lightweight designs and simplifies the fabrication process with little effort. There is hardly sufficient research on tactile sensors and inkjet printing. Advancements ...
