Modular tVAM assembly enables large-scale hollow tubular networks beyond commercial build space, cutting printing dead volume by more than 50% versus printing the whole structure at once.
- Why it matters: tVAM is promising for biofabrication but is constrained by material use and limited maximal model size from optical and technical limits.
- What they did: The work fabricates modular hollow subunits with tVAM, assembles seven gelatin methacryloyl units into a larger system, and tests it with liquid flow dynamics and stent placement into stenosed segments.
- The result: The assembled models can be leaktight and are effectively endothelialized, supporting fabrication of physiological stent placement phantoms or vascular tissue models.
