Definition
Well reputed 3D BioPrinting machine from Envisiontec.
The process of creating cell patterns in a confined space using 3D
printing technologies, where cell function and viability are preserved
within the printed construct.
A three-dimensional design usually produced using various 3D
modeling softwares like CATIA, CREO, SOLIDWORKS.
Process of creating a three-dimensional object by depositing
material layer by layer.
A process by which the shape and texture of a real world object is
captured and displayed as a 3D Model.
A popular thermoplastic material heavily used in 3D Printing.
Made by adding a bit of acetone to the ABS filament. This is used to
stick the 3D Print to the build plate.
An organic solvent used to dissolve left over filament in a nozzle to
unclog the nozzle and also for smoothing the ABS printed object
surface.
Process of creating a three-dimensional object by depositing
material layer by layer.
A nozzle design that can go up to temperatures of 450℃.
A material used in 3D printing consisting of nylon filled with
aluminum dust. Its name is a combination of the words aluminum
and polyamide. The printed objects have a metallic look.
