What are the plastics requirements for Extracorporeal Liver Assist Device (ELAD)-like devices?

Joseph Gosnell @Joseph-Gosnell

19 April 2015 1 8K Report

I need suggestions on plastics that fit the following requirements, please.

1) Can be used in a 3D Printer (preferably MakerBot 5th Gen. Replicators)

2) Can be used for adhesion of collagen to its surface

3) Will not degrade in the presence of acidotic blood

4) Relatively inexpensive

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ferdinand Wilhelm, Markus Haag

the best supplier for 3d - Printing material is http://3d2print.net/ - high quality and acceptable price.

works good in makerbot Rep.

I would suggest ABS for your purpose.

Please let me know if it workes!
