In this talk, our recent progress on fabricating composite filament incorporating bioactive materials for Fused deposition modeling (FDM) will be presented. FDM depending on pre-formed filaments has been mainly utilized as a facile methodology for constructing scaffolds in medical field. However, FDM research for scaffold fabrication, especially those for synthetic organs, has been mainly focused on fabricating desired subtle features of organs. Recently, we started a project developing composite filament decorated with various bioactive materials by incorporating technologies from composite materials research field. Via FDM of composite filaments with different bioactive materials, organ scaffold with spatial distinctions, which are distinguished by bioactive materials decorated with, might be fabricated. As a result, spatially distinguished differentiation of stem cells could be driven via scaffold, and it might provide a novel method to mimic bipolar organs based on FDM. |
