3D printing
Additive process used to make a three-dimensional object
Is 3D printing able to make adenovirus?
3D printers come with limitations in terms of precision. The standard nozzle output is about 0.4 mm. Therefore, if you are planning to print something that is below 0.4mm, you will not get a useful item. Adenoviruses are medium-sized (90–100 nm), nonenveloped (without an outer lipid bilayer) viruses with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double stranded DNA genome.
What is the size of a 3D printer's standard nozzle output? What size range do adenoviruses fall in? Is #2 greater than or equal to #1?
