Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the freeform fabrication of complex structures from various build materials. The objective of this study is to develop a novel Laponite nanoclay-enabled printing-then-solidification additive Manufacturing approach to extrude complex three:dimensional (3D) structures made of various liquid build materials. LapOnite, a member of the smectite mineral family, is investigated to serve as a yield-stress support bath material for the, extrusion printing of liquid build materials. Using,the printing-then-solidification approach, the printed structure-remains livid and, retains its shape With the help of the Laponite support bath. Then the completed liquid strictures are solidified in situ by applying suitable cross-linking mechanisms Finally, the solidified structures are harvested from the Laponite nanoclay support bath for any further processing as needed. Due to its chemical and physical stability, liquid build materials with different solidification/curing/gelation mechanisms can be fabricated in the Laponite bath using, the printing-then-solidification approach.The feasibility of the proposed Laponite-enabled printing-then-solidification approach is demonstrated by fabricating several complicated structures made of various liquid build material including alginate with ionic cross-linking, gelatin with thermal cross-linking, and SU-8 with photo-cross-linking. During gelatin structure printing, living cells are included and the postfabrication cell viability is above 90%.
