    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for printing a three-dimensional (3D) material. In some examples, a method for printing a 3D biological material comprises providing a media chamber comprising a medium comprising (i) a plurality of cells and (ii) one or more polymer precursors. Next, at least one energy beam may be directed to the medium in the media chamber along at least one energy beam path that is patterned into a 3D projection wherein the x, y, and z dimensions may be simultaneously accessed in accordance with computer instructions for printing the 3D biological material in computer memory, to form at least a portion of the 3D biological material comprising (i) at least a subset of the plurality of cells, and (ii) a polymer formed from the one or more polymer precursors.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for optically-induced auto-encapsulation. A method of the present disclosure comprises providing a media chamber comprising a medium comprising (i) a three-dimensional (3D) object comprising a photo-emitter, (ii) at least one polymeric precursor, and (iii) a photoinitiator, and subjecting the medium in the media chamber to a stimulus (e.g., an energy beam or a chemical stimulus) to induce photo-emission from the photo-emitter to trigger the formation of a polymer matrix from the at least one polymeric precursor, which polymer matrix at least partially encapsulates the 3D object.
