Consortium Formed to Create Artificial Tissue

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
AACHEN, Germany, Jan. 26, 2012 — Under the leadership of Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, a consortium of 16 European partners from the medical industry and research community has been established to generate artificial tissue for implants under the project ArtiVasc 3-D. One of the biggest challenges in the medical industry has been to create multilayer tissue structures designed to diffuse nutrients for surrounding cells in a similar manner to natural tissue.

    additive manufacturing
    Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
