A Comparative Study in the Printability of a Bioink and 3D Models Across Two Bioprinting Platforms.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we used an alginate-gelatin bioink to design and print 3D constructs with lattice, honeycomb and fibrous bundle patterns. These designs were printed using a small-scale laboratory printer, at first and later translated to a larger scale, high throughput-printing platform. A comparative analysis of the structures printed using two dissimilar platforms using gross morphologic evaluation, scanning electron microscopy and swelling assay confirmed our hypothesis that a design printed using a small-scale laboratory bioprinter for optimization of bioink composition and printing parameters can be successfully translated into a large scale-printing platform for high throughput printing of constructs. Since the designs for printing were implemented using a software which was common ac
