Technical Field

Background

Tissue engineering is a popular interdisciplinary discipline at present. Tissue engineering is a biological engineering that operates at the cellular and tissue level, primarily directed to the formation and regeneration of tissues and organs. The three major elements are cells, biomaterial scaffolds and growth factors.

The 3D printing technology (also known as 3D rapid prototyping technology or additive manufacturing technology) is a new emerging manufacturing technology that has started to rise gradually in the later 80 s of the 20 th century, and refers to a novel digital prototyping technology for rapidly manufacturing 3D objects of any complex shape by precise 3D stacking of materials according to data such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) models or Computed Tomography (CT) of the objects under the control of a computer, and the basic manufacturing process of the 3D printing technology is based on the principle of layered manufacturing and layer-by-layer stacking. The three-dimensional product is finally obtained after the layer-by-layer printing is carried out through a 3D printing system controlled by a computer and the three-dimensional product is superposed, so that a new thought is provided for the problems existing in the traditional forming technology.

The organ 3D printing technology is different from the traditional methods such as tissue engineering and the like, and means that cells and gel materials are mixed together under the precise control of a computer to be stacked layer by layer for forming. The most important advantages are the integrated manufacture of the complex appearance and the internal fine structure, and the individual production of various organs, which is beyond the reach of the traditional manufacturing technology. The national institute of technology, Massachusetts institute of technology, university of Cantonese Meilong, university of Michigan, Singapore national university, and domestic Qinghua university are all engaged in research efforts in this regard. Therefore, the design and development of the composite multi-nozzle 3D printing and forming device become necessary. However, the related research and development targets of all colleges and research institutions are limited to increasing the number of single nozzles under the same stent and changing the relative arrangement mode, or changing the shape of the nozzles and the internal channel ratio cannot fundamentally solve the problems of forming complex structures with different materials and different cells simultaneously, implanting the cells accurately, improving the appearance process level of the stent, reducing subsequent processing and maintaining the bioactivity of the stent with the cells. The composite multi-nozzle 3D printing system is expected to become a future development trend.

The fixed same-type multi-nozzle forming system has the following defects when manufacturing complex tissues and organs:

although the nozzle of the equipment is replaceable, only a single material can be processed by the nozzle in each printing process, the nozzle switching and the material conversion are very difficult in the printing process, forming errors are easy to cause, salivation and other negative effects are caused, and the limitation of forming in multiple cells, multiple materials and multiple directions exists.

Secondly, the device can not form non-degradable high polymer materials and can not finish the thin-layer tissue formation with the precision reaching the micron level.

And thirdly, living cells are involved in the manufacturing of the tissue and organ, and the cell activity is adversely affected by subsequent processing technologies such as brush polishing, drill punching and the like.

The equipment adopts a screw extrusion type extrusion printing mode, has structural defects during cell printing and processing, and cannot control the accurate distribution of the cell printing quantity and the cell printing position.
