3D Printing of Meso-Decorated Gels and Foods

Two kinds of 3D printers were developed in our group. One is bathtub-type gel printer named SWIM-ER. The other is ink-jet-type food printer named E-CHEF NO.1. Using Meso-Decorated gels and agar, 3D printing of the soft materials was carried out. The valve of blood vessel, which is difficult to build by soft materials, is printed successfully by SWIM-ER. Their dimensions became almost the same as the designed. We also succeeded in printing food by E-CHEF NO.1, while a few bubbles are found in the sample.
