Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods of simultaneously manufacturing two or more hydrogel constructs (e.g., tubular hydrogel constructs). In some embodiments, the method comprises one or more of the following steps: providing a vat comprising a bio-ink composition containing one or more monomers and/or one or more polymers; applying electromagnetic radiation from an electromagnetic radiation source to cure a layer of the hydrogel constructs (e.g., tubular hydrogel constructs); and applying electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic radiation source one or more additional times to produce one or more additional layers of the hydrogel constructs (e.g., tubular hydrogel constructs).
