Design of Static Mixing Tube for Two Component Hydrogel 3D Printing
The static mixing tube for two-component hydrogel 3D printing are designed and optimized.The split-and-recombine(SAR)static mixing tubes simulated with different parameters are qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated.The optimal design is installed on a modified Prusa 3D printer to print poly vinyl alcohol(PVA)/Sodium alginate(SA)two-component hydrogel structures.The gradient PVA/SA sample is then printed by multiple virtual print heads.The gradient effect is verified by threshold segmentation.This demonstrates the new design of static mixing tube and its potential application in biocompatible gradient func-tional material printing.
