Pressure Deposition System
Goal: The Pressure Deposition will be able to deposit hydrogel, cross linking agent, and a live cell culture to the collection mandrel. The system will be biocompatible with cell culture, safely interact with the moving mandrel, incorporate an automated element and have a user friendly interface.
Machining
The Support stands for the syringes have be machined and assembled and are integrated with the base of the fabrication system.
Electrical Safety
The support mounts were machined out of garolite material to prevent from arching. In addition the supports were made so that it can support both vertical and horizontal electrospinning.
Fluent Analysis
The syringe was molded in fluent and the shear stress was found for different viscosities of alginate to see if the cells can withstand it.
