3D Projection Printing of Concave Hydrogel Microstructures

Technology Description

University researchers have developed a 3D printing platform for generating complex concavities in soft polymeric materials that enables the generation and development of spheroids for 3D cell culture without the need for spheroid transfer. Primary applications are in the areas of research tools, cellular assays, tissue engineering and drug screening. The invention has a patent pending and is available for licensing.
