Abstract
A platform structure for manufacturing a scaffold for use in tissue engineering, comprising a frame; a ring-shaped thermally conductive member fixedly disposed in the frame; a thermally conductive platform centrally movably disposed in the ring-shaped thermally conductive member and having edges in direct contact with inner walls of the ring-shaped thermally conductive member, wherein the thermally conductive platform and the ring-shaped thermally conductive member together define a space of a variable depth; a vertically movable mechanism connected to a bottom of the thermally conductive platform and adapted to drive the thermally conductive platform to sink and thus increase gradually the depth of the space; and a low temperature generating mechanism connected to the ring-shaped thermally conductive member and the thermally conductive platform to cool down the ring-shaped thermally conductive member and the thermally conductive platform, to prevent deformation and ensure uniform dimensions of tall scaffolds.
