Figure Lengend Snippet: Resin chip fabrication: ( A ) Schematic of the Asiga Max UV digital light processing (DLP) 3D printer and the Form2 stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer and associated printed resin chips (Flexible Resin in black, Clear Resin/High Temp Resin in grey, and Dental Resin in brown). The printer can cure many different commercial methacrylate-based photopolymer resins, allowing for a variety of sampling materials, provided the photoinitiator absorbs between 385 and 405 nm. Each chip comes printed on a raft and support structure (as shown in the schematic) and must be singulated before post-processing. ( B ) Resin chip post-processing stages. Each of the indicated steps as well as the order was the final sequence used for a full regiment of resin treatment. After full post-processing, the chips can then be assembled in 48-well plates and sterilized for cell culture.
Article Snippet: The chips were subsequently sliced and printed ( A) using either a combination of PreForm and a desktop Form2 μSLA 3D printer (both from FormLabs, Somerville, MA, USA) or Composer and an Asiga MAX UV27 DLP 3D printer (both from Asiga, Sydney, Australia) depending on the resin type used.
