Article Synopsis
- The use of 3D printing in biomedicine is growing, but the available materials (inks) are still quite limited.
- Zein, a protein from maize seeds, is introduced as a new 3D printable material, where formulations were created by dissolving zein in ethanol with or without PEG400.
- Research showed that aging the ink affected its viscosity and printability, with optimal results achieved using inks matured for 10 to 14 days, leading to successful prints for drug release tablets, scaffolds for cell culture, and complex structures.
