SUMMARY:How Engineers Can Save Lives with Additive Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Date: January 30\, 2025 \nTime: 7 PM – 8PM CST \nEvent Format: Virtual Lecture \nLocation: Online \nHosting Organization: Saskatoon Engineering Society \nEvent Summary: In tissue engineering\, tissue scaffolds can be fabricated by various means—among them three dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a promising method of fabrication. During the printing process\, materials are forced to flow out of the printing head to form a 3D structure on the printing stage. The properties and printability of these materials are important to the formation and maintenance of the architecture and structural integrity of the scaffolds. Among the various materials used to print tissue scaffolds\, sodium alginate (Alg) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCt) stand out due to their biocompatibility\, biodegradability\, and their ability to retain a large amount of water for mimicking the native extracellular matrix. This presentation will introduce background concepts important to tissue scaffolds like the integration of 3D printing with polymeric materials and tissue scaffolds design. Then\, data on characterization and optimization methods for printing will be shown\, and finally future strategies to address some gaps in the current research will be discussed. \nHow to Register: Click here for more information and to register \nEvent Contact: Saskatoon Engineering Society: www.saskatoonengineers.com \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.
