Extrusion-based printing is a very common technique within the field of 3D printing which entails extruding, or forcing, a continuous stream of melted solid material or viscous liquid through a sort of orifice, often a nozzle or syringe. [22] When it comes to extrusion based bioprinting, there are four main types of extrusion.
A Bowden extruder is a type of extruder that pushes filament through a long and flexible PTFE (Teflon) tube to the hot end. [1] An alternative type of extruder which is also widely used in filament 3D printers is the direct-drive extruder , which sits closer to the extruder hot end.
A liposome extruder is a device that prepares cell membranes, exosomes and also generates nanoscale liposome formulations. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The liposome extruder employs the track-etched membrane to filter huge particles and achieve sterile filtration.
The process involves the application of heat, pressure and agitation to mix materials together and 'extrude' them through a die. Twin-screw high shear extruders blend materials and simultaneously break up particles. The resulting particles can be blended and compressed into tablets or filled into capsules. [11]
The mechanical strength of tablets is assessed using a combination of simple failure and erosion tests, and more sophisticated engineering tests. The simpler tests are often used for quality control purposes, whereas the more complex tests are used during the design of the formulation and manufacturing process in the research and development phase.
Before use, the two halves are separated, and the capsule is filled with powder or more normally pellets made by the process of extrusion and spheronization (either by placing a compressed slug of powder into one half of the capsule or by filling one half of the capsule with loose powder) and the other half of the capsule is pressed on.
Generally, high-temperature extrusion is used for the manufacture of ready-to-eat snacks, while cold extrusion is used for the manufacture of pasta and related products intended for later cooking and consumption. The processed products have low moisture and hence considerably higher shelf life, and provide variety and convenience to consumers.
A cell being extruded from an epithelium, with actin in red, microtubules in green, and DNA in blue. model of extrusion signaling Cell extrusion, discovered in 2001, [1] is a process conserved in epithelial from humans to sea sponge [2] to seamlessly remove unwanted or dying cells while maintaining the integrity of the epithelial barrier.
