OpenFOAM simulations of stress mitigation strategies in embedded 3D bioprinting
In embedded 3D printing, a nozzle is embedded into a support bath and extrudes filaments or droplets into the bath. Embedded 3D printing is particularly useful for bioprinting, wherein a cell-laden ink is extruded through the nozzle. Using OpenFOAM, we simulated the extrusion of filaments and droplets into a moving …
