Abstract

Extrusion bioprinting is one of the most studied additive manufacturing technologies thanks to the huge possibilities in the creation of engineered tissues that it provides. Despite all research performed about bioprinting there is not enough information on how inlet velocities affect the pressure distribution. In this way, we have carried out CFD simulations to check how different inlet velocities can affect the pressure distribution in the tip of a nozzle.
