Abstract:
1. A cell culture scaffold manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a cell culture scaffold that is used in regeneration of a tissue, the apparatus comprising: a plotter that includes a first solution storage portion in which a biopolymer solution is stored, and a plotter nozzle for ejecting a solution supplied from the first solution storage portion; an electrospinning unit that electrospins nanofibers; a plotting position control portion that controls a plotting position by moving the plotter and the electrospinning unit in an x-y-z axis direction; a cylindrical collection portion that has a cylinder shape for forming a cylindrical cell culture scaffold and is disposed at a lower portion of the plotter so that the solution ejected through the plotter nozzle of the plotter is collected; a collecting position control portion that controls a position at which the solution is collected by controlling a rotation speed of the cylindrical collection portion; and a controller that controls the plotting position control portion and the collecting position control portion, wherein the plotting position control portion includes a support bracket that supports the plotter and the electrospinning unit, the plotter is provided at one side of the support bracket and the electrospinning unit is provided at another side of the support bracket, the support bracket includes a rotation means that rotates the electrospinning unit to the position of the plotter, the collecting position control portion includes a fixing shaft fixing the cylindrical collection portion and a driver rotating the fixing shaft, and the cylindrical collection portion is detachably formed in the fixing shaft by forming a hollow portion into which the fixing shaft is inserted at both ends in a central axis direction, so that various cylindrical collection portion as a framework for forming the cylindrical cell culture scaffold can be used according to the diameter of the cylindrical cell culture scaffold; wherein the plotting position control portion includes a x-axis guiderail and y-axis guiderail moving the support bracket in a x-axis direction and a y-axis direction, respectively, and the support bracket includes a z-axis guiderail for moving the plotter and the electrospinning unit in a z-axis direction.
