Original Kurzfassung:
In order to investigate the complex behaviour of biological tissue in general and more specifically cerebral blood vessels,extensive testing is necessary. To reduce the number of
biological samples and as a step towards, artificial implants, the
development of artificial replica was carried out. Utilizing the power of rapid prototyping via 3Dprinting,
different approaches were investigated in the production of the mimics and the assessment of their performance. With the goal of a full-scale replication of the bio-behaviour. Conclusion & outlook: ? Experiments on biological tissue revealed similar results to literature
? Multimaterial printing approach resulted in impressive visualizations,
unsatisfying mechanical behaviour
? Hybrid approach is be promising but parameters need to be adjusted
? Bulge tests need to be repeated with increased frame-rate
