The creation of more complex tissue models in vitro points to the need for controlled assembly of artificial and biological material architectures in two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) space. Existing biomaterial fabrication techniques (e.g., 3D printing, electrospinning, and templating) fall short in building the complex combinations of chemical and structural elements, with limited feature resolution. Our recent development in low-voltage electrospinning patterning (LEP), and its combination with additive manufacturing, opens up new avenues in the creation of geometrically defined biomaterial matrices. This presentation will demonstrate LEP’s applications in fabricating bio-scaffolds, single-fibres with multi-scale morphologies, and the printing of microelectrodes onto flexible substrates.
