3D-Printed Blood Vessels: The Tech Just Became Scalable

By Greg Hurst and Matt Gelber.

This article was published on Medium.

The Problem: Making Vasculature is Hard!

It sounds simple enough — all of your cells require a constant supply of oxygen. Your lungs extract it from the air and your blood carries it all around your body through a vascular network comprising thousands of miles of veins and arteries. If your heart doesn’t beat at least once every couple seconds, your brain doesn’t receive enough oxygen-rich blood to maintain consciousness.

We don’t understand super high-level biological phenomena like consciousness. We can’t engineer a conscious array of cells, or even of transistors. But we understand pretty well the vasculature that supports consciousness. It’s a series of tubes. Literally. And it may be that if we can make the tubes and deliver oxygen to a sufficiently large population of cells, we can make some cool things happen. A conscious brain is a long shot, a functional piece of liver or kidney decidedly less so.

The problem is, making vasculature is hard. Cells in a dish do self-organize to an extent, but we don’t understand such systems well enough to tell a bunch of cells to grow into a vascularized organ.

An alternative means of generating physiological structure’s blood vessels is a bit cruder — design the structure you want, then make a robot that can physically place the cells and the vessels where you want them. We call this bioprinting. A major hurdle with bioprinting is the fact that, while the printer is working, the cells that have been printed are slowly dying from lack of oxygen. For really big, complex tissues, you either need a way to supply oxygen while you’re still printing, or you need a way to make all those blood vessels really fast.

One really fast approach was demonstrated in 2009. Researchers at Cornell used a cotton candy machine to melt-spin a pile of sugar fibers. They cast the sugar fibers in a polymer, dissolved them out with water and made a random vascular network in minutes. In 2012, researchers at Penn used a hacked desktop 3D printer to draw molten sugar fibers into a simple lattice and showed that the same sacrificial casting approach could be used deliver blood to rat liver cells in a dish, keeping them alive for weeks. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed the ability to make these sugar fiber networks of any shape and size.

Materials Science + Mechanical Engineering + Theoretical Computer Science to the Rescue

Scaling the process isn’t just a matter of building a more precise, more expensive printer (although that is necessary). It’s a matter of choosing the right type of sugar, understanding the physical behavior of the sugar as it is printed and of telling the printing robot how to move. The problem spans materials science, mechanical engineering and theoretical computer science; it contained more than enough material for a PhD thesis, and the cells aren’t even in there yet. The materials and mechanical engineering aspects are laid out in a recent publication in Additive Manufacturing; the planning algorithm is described in a recent manuscript still under review.

Instead of conventional sugars, this printer uses isomalt, the same low-calorie sugar substitute they use to make throat lozenges. Isomalt works better than conventional sugar, mostly because it doesn’t burn like sugar does. The printer melts the isomalt and pushes it out of a tiny nozzle under pressure. Like a pen, the nozzle is used to “write” thin isomalt filaments, but in 3D. Printing speed, temperature and pressure are critical to achieving precise filaments. Right now the diameters of the filaments can be anywhere from 50 to 500 micrometers; to give some context, a human hair is about 10 micrometers thick. However, the researchers say it’s entirely possible to go bigger or smaller.

At that point it might seem like you’re done. But when you want to print a network comprising thousands of filaments, you encounter an interesting problem. You need to choose an order in which to print them. The printing process is freeform; you can move the nozzle anywhere you want. That means if you’re not careful, you can hit your sugar construct with your nozzle and destroy it.

Avoid Collisions AND Don’t Melt

Collision avoidance is a pretty common problem in robotics, so that part isn’t too hard to deal with. However, there is an additional wrinkle that is very specific to this problem. It has to do with the fact that every time you go to an existing filament and draw a new branch, you melt the material at the joint. Imagine you’re building a bridge, but every time you weld a new beam on, all the existing welds around it melt. This makes the problem a lot harder.

Without this constraint, the problem of choosing a sequence is analogous to finding your way out of the maze on the right. There are dead ends, but you can see them. You won’t get lost in them; you’ll immediately turn around. But with this particular constraint, choosing a sequence is like finding your way out of the maze on the right. The maze is big; for long sequences, it becomes, for all practical purposes, infinite.

The best you can do in this case is make an educated guess at every fork. For example, if you had a compass that pointed towards the exit, you might take the path that most nearly coincides with the direction of the needle. In some cases, there is no feasible printing sequence; the maze has no exit. More strangely still, you can’t know, at least with our current understanding of computer science, if you should give up. You know the exit exists if, and only if, you actually find it.

In order to navigate the maze and generate a printing sequence, you need an efficient algorithm as well as a fair bit of computational power. This part has become much easier recently with high-level languages such as the Wolfram Language. Says author Greg Hurst, a developer at Wolfram Research, “This problem spans many disciplines. Computational geometry is needed for collision detection, NP-complete graph problems — like finding cliques — need to be solved, and sparse matrix solvers need to be invoked thousands of times throughout. With the Wolfram Language, I was able to hammer out fast code in a matter of months.”

Here’s a Wolfram Language command to visualize nozzle-beam collisions. The red beams must be drawn after the green one to avoid contact with the blue nozzle as it draws the green beam:

Here’s the full implementation with relevant information to monitor the progress:

What’s Next?

So the problems of turning a design into a set of printer instructions, and of having a printer that is sufficiently precise into execute them, are more or less solved. This doesn’t mean that 3D-printed organs are just around the corner. Just pouring a bunch of liver cells around a vascular mold doesn’t give you a functional liver. You need to make the cells to grow and organize the same way they do in your body.

Cells respond to the chemical and mechanical properties of their environment, and successfully recapitulating tissue requires tailoring these parameters as well. But printing vasculature is a very important step, because without it, everything dies. Now we can start tweaking the environment without worrying so much about the all-important blood vessels.

Today, we have sugar bunnies. Tomorrow, we might have miniature organs on a chip that we use to test new drugs. In several years, who knows. Maybe we’ll be able to replace a failing heart with a patient-specific replica. Maybe the processor in your computer will be replaced by a vascularized slab of neurons. We can’t yet say what the application will be, but we have the tools now to start entertaining these ideas. Stay tuned!

Fixing my GeeeTech i3 3D Printer Megapost, Part 1: Electronics

As of this post I’ve owned my GeeeTech i3 Pro B for nearly two years, discovered a lot of problems with it and made a great many modifications to it to correct those issues. I’ll maintain a list of the issues I’ve encountered here and the steps I’ve taken to correct them for the benefit of anyone that happens to own one.

Please keep in mind that these are my personal experiences and the solutions presented here should not necessarily be taken as advice.

1) GT2560 Controller issues.

Marginal MOSFET performance

USB power glitches

Lack of freewheeling protection on fan output

Inadequate power connector

2) Wiring harness issues

Improperly terminated cables

Use of two separate circuits for power delivery

Potentially hazardous voltages exposed to the user

1) Controller Issues

The GT2560 is a 3D printer controller plagued by a lot of issues and I’ve made many repairs and modifications to it throughout the time I’ve owned one. I’ll discuss some of the issues I’ve had here, discuss some of the things I’ve done to correct them and link to some resources on how to correct some of these issues. It is worth mentioning, though, that I am no longer using a GT2560 and I’ve replaced it with an MKS Gen 1.4.

Poor MOSFET performance: The MOSFETS used for controlling the hotend and heat bed on the GT2560 have marginal performance at best and get quite hot in operation. This is due to the fact that they have a relatively high gate threshold voltage and a high drain-source resistance when on. This is not only an issue because they get quite hot, but also because they dissipate a lot of the power that could be going into the heated bed or hot end as waste heat. The MOSFET in use is a STP55NF06L, the gate of which is driven directly from a microcontroller pin, so we can expect a Vgs of no more than 5v. According to the datasheet for this part, this should result in a drain-source resistance of 0.02Ohm, which would be quite acceptable, however, there is an issue with this design. The high level output of a microcontroller pin tends to dip a bit below the supply voltage for that chip due to internal voltage drops. In the case of the ATMEGA2560 used on this board, the output voltage of an IO pin may be as low as 4.2v:

(From Page 355 of the ATMEGA2560 datasheet)

This voltage is very close to the gate threshold voltage of the FET, as we’ll see below:

(ST Microelectronics datasheet for STP55NF06L, page 6)

This would result in a high drain source resistance and cause the transistor to dissipate a lot of power.  There’s an excellent article about this issue and how to fix it here. On my particular board, I only replaced the FET controlling the heated bed and left the others as they were.

USB power glitches: After a few weeks of using my 3D printer with a single board computer plugged into the USB port, I noticed that the printer would reset itself frequently. After some experimentation, I discovered that plugging my pedestal fan into the same outlet while the printer was running would reliably cause the printer to reset (!).

After some examination of the datasheet, I determined that this was likely due to the design of the circuit that switches from USB power to the 12v supply.

(From the GT2560 schematic)

The circuit above is the one used by the GT2560 to switch off power from the USB port when the 12v supply is connected.

This is more or less the same circuit used by the Arduino Mega, but with one critical difference: the P channel FET used to switch off USB power. The Arduino boards use an NDT2955, which has a minimum threshold voltage of -2v. The GT2560 uses an FDN340P with a minimum threshold voltage of -0.4v. The reason that this parameter is so critical is that when operating at 5v, the maximum output voltage of the LM358 is approximately 3.5v, which means that the transistor used here will still see a gate voltage of -1.5v when the USB supply should be cut off.

At a gate voltage of -1.5v, the NDT2955 used by the Arduino boards will pinch off the current completely because of its higher threshold voltage. However, at that voltage the FDN340P employed here will not turn off completely. This could potentially result in current being fed back into the USB port. Not good!

My solution to this was to print exclusively from an SD card and avoid using the USB port at all.

It might also be possible to fix this by replacing that transistor, but I haven’t attempted it. I think a better solution would be to use a comparator instead of an operational amplifier and use a more appropriate transistor for the task. Perhaps a comparator with an open collector output and a pull up resistor on the gate of the transistor to 12v would be more appropriate. Of course, I haven’t tried any of these proposed solutions, so do so at your own risk!

Lack of freewheeling protection on fan output: Motors are inductive loads. When you shut an inductive load off, it generates a current in the reverse direction of the current previously applied to it. This effect is the so called “flyback effect”.

(Portion of the GT2560 schematic showing the failed transistor, Q5)

Of course, that reverse current wants to go somewhere, and in this case, it wants to force itself through the transistor that just turned off. Obviously, this is bad news for the transistor.

This reverse current can cause a large voltage spike across the transistor and eventually lead to transistor failure. The transistor controlling the layer fan on my printer had failed causing the fan to run continuously. After looking at the schematic, I wasn’t terribly surprised to find that there was no flyback protection on the transistor controlling the fan!

The simplest and most common solution to this problem (but not necessarily the correct one in every case!) is to include a freewheeling (or flyback) diode.

I could have simply replaced the faulty transistor and somehow hacked a freewheeling diode in, but I wanted something a bit cleaner. I was able to find a low side power switch in the same device package and pinout as the transistor that had failed, the ZXMS6004FFQTA. It’s essentially an N Channel MOSFET with a bunch of circuit protection built in, including over voltage protection. This is a bit of an expensive solution, but it didn’t require any additional components and corrected the issue without any additional modifications.

Inadequate power connector: The GT2560 appears to use a four pin Molex MiniFit Jr connector (or a clone of it) to deliver power to the board. 12v is delivered on two contacts and ground is connected to the other two. According to the datasheets I found, this connector is rated for 6A continuous per contact. With two contacts providing 12v and two contacts providing ground, we can safely draw a maximum 12A continuously through this connector as this will result in a current of 6A flowing through each contact, though there are some other caveats to this as well which will be discussed later.

The Mk. 2 heated bed uses approximately 10A and the stock Mk. 8 hot end uses about 2.5A for a total of 12.5A. If this printer does indeed use this connector, this puts the current draw of the printer over the current rating of the connector without even considering the current used by the motors.

(From https://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/ps/PS-52034-003.pdf)

2) Wiring Harness Issues

Improperly terminated cables: several of the cables in the wiring harness were not terminated correctly and had poor crimps. Make sure you check your harness, as this is a potential fire hazard. I didn’t discover some of these issues until I actually started disassembling my printer and checking connection resistance with a multimeter.

Use of two separate circuits for power delivery: This isn’t necessarily an issue in of itself, but something to be aware of. If, for some reason, one of the four wires carrying power into the controller got disconnected or had a poor connection, it could cause an unsafe amount of current to flow through one of the other circuits. For example, If one of the 12v wires had a poor crimp on on end, it could snap off and cause all of the current to flow through the other wire carrying 12v. This could easily exceed the current limit of the connector by a factor of two if both the heat bed and hot end were on at the same time.

If this seems like an oddly specific example, that’s because I suspect it’s exactly what happened to my printer:

Potentially hazardous voltages exposed to the user: The terminal block on the power supply for the 115v mains input is located directly above the power switch.

Granted, there is a plastic insulating plate over it, but I really have to wonder why the mains input needs to be directly above the switch. I can’t really see a reason why the power supply couldn’t have been mounted on the other side of the printer, where it wouldn’t be placed so close to a switch that the user needs access to. I ended up  temporarily replacing the power supply with an ATX power supply while I was still using the GT2560 with this printer. The 4 pin CPU power connector on a computer power supply is the same type and same pinout as the one on the GT2560.

Conslusion

(Low quality photo, sorry. My phone has poor dynamic range and has difficulty taking photos of dark objects.)

I eventually gave up on the GT2560 as well as the original power supply. I ended up rewiring much of my printer so that I could use an ATX power supply with an MKS Gen 1.4. Surprisingly, this only required a few modifications:

The connectors on the end stop switches had to be replaced with 3 pin JST XH 2.54 connectors

The LCD and SD card headers are backwards compared to the original board, I “fixed” them by cutting the tab off of them with a sharp knife. I also ordered some 2.54mm 10 pin IDC connectors to replace them, but didn’t really find it necessary as I’m the only one that uses this printer.

The fan connector needed to be removed as the MKS Gen uses a terminal block to connect it

I adapted the ATX power supply for use with my printer (there are lots of tutorials on how to do this on the internet). In my case, that meant cutting the ends off of some GPU power connector extensions and crimping some connectors onto them.

I also took this opportunity to crimp some ferrules onto the ends of the bare wires to prevent them from fraying. The board is mounted to the original location using an adapter I designed.

The new setup is performing well and is a marked improvement over the GT2560. I was able to get the latest version of Marlin running on it which includes additional thermal runaway protection, making this printer a bit safer. I’ve also noticed that the hotend and bed heat faster and the FETs controlling them barely even get warm. The MKS Gen isn’t open source, so I can’t easily have a detailed look at how it was designed, but I’ve been using it for the last few days and I’m fairly happy with it thus far.

What is CAD to a Setter out ? As for the rest of the HP workstation family members, this 1 comes with the Remote Graphics Application as properly as a 3-year onsite warranty bundled. The RM1000x in conjunction with the Noctua fans made for an incredibly quiet dual Xeon server and most of the time the power provide was in Zero RPM Fan Mode” which was nice. If your computer software cannot take advantage of GPU rendering, swapping the high performance quad core Intel i7 for an eight core AMD Ryzen CPU is a very good option. I’ve listed a handful of high-functionality graphics cards below. Other desirable attributes not identified in desktop computer systems at that time included networking, graphics acceleration, and higher-speed internal and peripheral data buses. This collaborative method gives us the opportunity to comprehend how you are going to be making use of the Pc and contemplate the demands your computer software will put on the hardware just before we design and style your match for purpose workstation.

As the workstation business leader, HP continues to invest in technology that permits buyers to push the limits of innovation. Recommendation #1: Tower workers need to utilize a separate fall protection method when employing vertical lifelines or controlled descent devices. Made for engineering projects, skilled animation or video editing, and higher-level calculations, they are constructed to far exceed the demands of ordinary users. This time is decreased with every grade level increase, specifically where the students have participated in workstations in earlier school years. So, those who push mythologies, like racism, is used to justify discrimination, and all types of oppression against African people… Mythologies are utilized to create environment, a situation and belief in these oppressed that they ought to be oppressed — and that atmosphere is reflected in their behavior.

Our customer service personnel are skilled, hands on people that will perform with you to suit your person pc workstation furniture needs throughout each and every step of the approach. Office workstations for that reason need to have adjustable components which make them suitable for all body sorts and perform tasks. All of this can be operated from any of your network’s workstations or by direct access at the Biz-Hub’s effortless to operate touch screen manage panel. The Software Licensing Service reported that the plug-in manifest file is incorrect. The internal workings of a workstation are held to a greater normal than those of a Computer.

One key overall performance advantage that workstations hold over PCs comes from their tough drives. You might not necessarily need to have a best of the line $ten,000 Pc, but you also may well require more than a boosted normal Computer. Multi-Monitor help, high performance graphics cards and expandable storage are all functions that separate a workstation from a standard Pc. Your workflow, application and line of perform will eventually determine what workstation you ought to choose. The Skylake X powered Titan X299 now represents high-end processing energy at a surprisingly cost-effective cost. In today’s trend towards the more modern developed environment the collaborative open strategy workspace, person creativity is such an critical element in retaining this person progress.

In a prior organization there were six CAD2 badged workstations and the supplier was on web site the subsequent day as there were significant issues with the machines crashing employing PDMworks.

This operation is not permitted on the invalid disk pack. With 32GB of DDR3 memory and a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD, Workstation Specialists has cautiously chosen the remaining components so that they don’t end up costing the earth, but still assist with each rendering efficiency and overall method responsiveness.

In spite of its incredible overall performance, Z Series Workstations are also renowned for getting whisper-quiet. Workstations usually have many Central Processing Units, a lot of RAM and many quickly hard disk drives. The improvement of workstations was historically connected to developments in individual computing advances in microprocessors, application, memory storage, and so on. • Handheld PCs (such as PDAs) lack the energy of a desktop or notebook Pc, but offer you features for users who want limited functions and little size. The Z840’s base configuration is a $two,399 model with a single Xeon processor, normal difficult drive, and does not come with a graphics card. So Barack Obama as a candidate had to tread really cautiously in discussing these matters, expressing help instead for policies that would seem race-neutral but actually have a disproportionately advantageous effect for African Americans and Latinos.

Couple this with up to two separate, but integrated graphics cards and the potential to run up to 4 complete-efficiency 3D monitors or eight 2D monitors simultaneously and you have a designer’s dream machine. NVIDIA nView desktop management computer software increases productivity by helping you handle your workspace via numerous virtual desktops, user profiles and configurable gridlines to organise your show. PCI Express slots for graphics and other expansion devices sit behind the tough drive trays, and the center of the case holds the CPUs and RAM. Our graphics workstations can be configured to location the emphasis on genuine-time show of your 3D models as work in progress, allowing you to edit, manipulate and visualise in higher quality with no lag or visual stuttering.

10 Hot Gadgets

New Post has been published on https://myupdatesystems.com/10-hot-gadgets/

10 Hot Gadgets

This year was marked by a number of different technological breakthroughs. In the first half of this article we will mention our top 5 picks; then we will finish with the 5 honorable mentions. These gadgets are “must haves” for anyone who knows a geek, is a geek, or is a geek “want to be” and is trying to improve their geek status. Also, if this past Christmas was you’re first for navigating the latest technological gadget waters, you may have been surprised at the price tags. Here is our advice: read this article to get familiar with all the interesting and fun items Microsoft, Apple, and so many others have to offer; know that next year all of these products will be updated, modified or discontinued; and most importantly, start saving those pennies!

Top 10 Must Haves:

iMac

As we have said about it in the past, we would become sinners to have this apple! This is one of the best computers on the market today, in our opinion. And we are not saying that because Apple sent us some to thank us for the publicity (which they have not), nor because we expect them to (which we don’t). We will certainly accept some if they happen to show up on our desks, however! (Ok, I think that none too subtle hint is out there.) Sleek and smooth looking, with excellent performance, iMac came in at the top of our list. On the other hand, its price is tops too, therefore, definitely one of the most expensive potential gifts on this list. A gift we would love to have…but, back to reality now…

HP TouchSmart

Even though we did an article comparing this computer with the iMac, we feel they both deserve to be on our list. One of HP’s best inventions is definitely its TouchSmart desktop, without any “desk”, just a “top”. AS with the iMac, HP placed all the hardware behind the computer’s screen and made a computer that functions just perfectly. Price? Around the same as the iMac, so it really just comes down to personal preference. Kind of like the Chevy folks versus the Ford folks. It’s up to you!

MacBook Air

Or MBA for friends, this is Apple’s tiniest laptop. With only 12.8 x 8.94 x 0.76 inches big, and its weight of only 3 pounds, some say they forget they are carrying it around. The battery life is estimated to be 5 hours. Certainly, it is not something you could or would want to use for big projects with dozens of Excel sheets, but it can be a great tool for some. Just be sure you really know your techie’s computing needs before purchasing this little gem.

E-readers

Consumers are generally divided on this gadget. True book lovers always say that there is nothing as exciting as hearing pages turning one after another and the sensory experience of handling the pages while reading. Some of them even say that books from libraries are the best books they could lay their hands on, and some of our staff agrees there is nothing like reading a well-worn book that others have also enjoyed. However, the problem with carrying around an actual book is one they can be bulky, and two they contain one story – once you are finished with the book, that is it. E-readers give you more flexibility- even if they do not give the warm, cozy feeling an actual book does.

iPad

One of the gadgets that you probably have heard the most about: the iPad. Seems like almost everybody’s got one or knows someone who does. This little toy, with all of its pros and cons, is still holding a high position on many techies’ wish lists. We have never had a doubt about the IPad’s quality and usability; after all, techies know best. Just ask ours!

‘Connected’ TV

What is “connected” TV? Almost every, if not every electronic item we have is or can be connected to the Internet. It is nothing new, but in recent years it has become a more mainstream concept.
