Application of 3D Printing Technology for Design and Manufacturing of Customized Components for a Mechanical Stretching Bioreactor

Figure 1

Schematic drawing of the bioreactor setup with the three modular subsystems: the culture unit, the motor unit, and the control unit. The functional FDM-printed components are represented in yellow. Both the motor housing and the culture chamber housing are bolted on a rigid planar base (represented in grey).
