Figure 3. Utilization of the drawing method for melt-electrowriting complexer shapes. The drawn paths are shown above the printed equivalents. (A) A
cornea-shaped scaffold. (B) The cornea-shaped scaffold transformed to a square instead of round shape. (C) A complex continuous spiral pattern. (D) A
rose made by hand drawing the path in the illustration program, which was then printed as such. (E) Text connected to make an uninterrupted shape and
the printed example. (F) A wolf emblem outline consisting of several paths for adding pauses in between. (G) The institute’s logo and its conversion to an
outline made of paths. (H) Shows a simplified version of the institute’s logo, which has been converted into a printable vector. The result of MEW is depicted
in the SEM is shown below. Abbreviations: MEW, melt electrowriting; SEM, scanning electron microscopy.
