Abstract

A platform form an apparatus for printing a 3D model comprises a base and a print layer. The base has a first side where the first side of the base has a first surface roughness thereon. The print layer is coupled first side of the base and includes a surface. The surface of the print layer is distal from the base and has a second surface roughness which is greater than the first surface roughness so as to promote adhesion of the 3D model being printed on the platform.

Claims (22)

1 . A method of forming a 3D printed model comprising:

providing an apparatus comprising:

a vat with a photocurable ink, wherein a bottom of the vat comprises an oxygen permeable membrane; and

a printing platform comprising:

a base, and

a mesh at a first side of the base, wherein the mesh is a mesh comprising hooks or loops for coupling the 3D printed model to the base, the mesh is a terminal element of the printing platform and an adhesion strength of the photocurable ink to the mesh is greater than an adhesion strength of the photocurable ink to the oxygen permeable membrane; and

displacing the printing platform with the mesh contacting the photocurable ink from the oxygen permeable membrane to form a 3D model from the photocurable ink.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the base is formed from a metal.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the platform further comprises a mounting arm extending from a second side of the base that is opposite the first side.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the platform further comprises an adhesion layer interposed between the base and the mesh, the adhesion layer couples the mesh to the base.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first side of the base has a surface roughness to promote attachment of the mesh to the base.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 3D model is a bioscaffold.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the platform further comprises a mounting arm extending from a second side of the base that is opposite the first side.

8 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the wherein the platform further comprises an adhesion layer interposed between the base and the mesh, the adhesion layer couples the mesh to the base.

9 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the platform further comprises an adhesion layer interposed between the base and the mesh, the adhesion layer couples the mesh to the base.

10 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first side of the base has a surface roughness to promote attachment of the mesh to the base.

11 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the first side of the base has a surface roughness to promote attachment of the mesh to the base.

12 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first side of the base has a surface roughness to promote attachment of the mesh to the base.

13 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the 3D model is a bioscaffold.

14 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the 3D model is a bioscaffold.

15 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the 3D model is a bioscaffold.

16 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the 3D model is a bioscaffold.
