The project is titled, “Collaborative Research: A Digital Manufacturing Platform to Democratize Biological Tissue Access Using Smart Two-Photon Polymerization.” The funding comes from the NSF’s Advanced Manufacturing (AM) program within the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI).
Working with our collaborators at Brown University, we will create a digital manufacturing platform for cloud-based reading and writing of scaffolds using a convergence research strategy. ADML will focus on the development of maximized-fidelity machine-learning (ML) enhanced two-photon polymerization (TPP) to print 3D collagen-based scaffolds.
