Robust Response

ABSTRACTA piezoelectric drop on demand printer has been used to print primary human osteoblast and bovine chondrocyte cells. After deposition the cells were incubated at 37°C and characterised using optical microscopy, SEM and cell viability assays. Cells showed a robust response to printing exhibiting signs of proliferation and spreading. Increasing the drop velocity results in a reduced cell survival and proliferation rates but both cell types grew to confluence after printing under all conditions studied.

AbstractA conventional rapid prototyping technology has been used to build prototypes using direct deposition through a drop-on-demand ink-jet printing system. Al2O3 - filled waxes have been developed with viscosity values close to those of the materials used in commercial printing systems. Commercial dispersants based on stearic acid and sterylamine have been studied and stable ceramic suspensions with ceramic volume fractions in the range 20–40 volume% produced with suitable viscosity. A suspension of 20% Al2O3 in an alkane wax has been successfully printed.

ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the use of Ink Jet printing techniques to dispense small (50 to 75 micrometer diameter) particles of molten eutectic solder individually at programmable dispense rates from drop on demand to several thousand per second. Alternative jet dispensing techniques are discussed. The technology could allow the selective application of programmable amounts of solder on precision circuit boards and wafer substrates, while avoiding the high cost and flexibility limits associated with hard tooling. Large solder features can be constructed by dispensing individual droplets and relying on surface tension to draw them together to form a large single feature. Alternatively, columnar features can be created by successively dispensing solder droplets at the same site, allowing time between successive droplets to avoid forming a single large spherical feature.Several potential application areas in industry are discussed along with some of the issues associated with the projected performance of the method in the accuracy and speed domains.

AbstractDrop-on-demand inkjet printing is a fabrication technique that is capable of depositing materials layer-by-layer to form complex 3-dimensional (3-D) constructs. Here we present a new single drop delivery method in which both the matrix and cross-linker are present but separated through the use of vesicle packaging. Changing the printing parameters has little effect on the integrity of the calcium(II)-loaded vesicles, with calcium(II) released selectively by warming after printing. Alginate solutions containing calcium(II)-loaded vesicles were successfully printed and the printed layers were shown to gel on demand at 37 °C. The printed alginate layers were evaluated with regards to their potential to provide 3-D structures for cell culture.

Predictor Corrector

MacCormack’s predictor-corrector algorithm is used to solve one-dimensional model equations of drop development from a drop-on-demand ink jet. The calculation is done in Lagrangian coordinates, and the results are compared with calculations reported in which an axisymmetric marker-and-cell algorithm is used. The comparison indicates that, although drop velocities differ in the two cases, good qualitative results can be obtained with the less complex one-dimensional approach.
