Abstract: A method for cell printing is disclosed. The method includes generating a receiver substrate, ablating or removing a portion of the receiver substrate via a first laser to expose a target layer, generating a donor substrate containing a back surface and a front surface, applying a coating of donor material to the front surface. The method further includes aligning the front surface of the donor substrate to be parallel to and facing the receiver substrate, wherein the donor material is disposed adjacent to the target layer, and irradiating the coating through the back surface of the donor substrate with one or more laser pulses produced by a second laser to transfer a portion of the donor material to the target layer. A system for cell printing is also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and devices for transferring biological or non-biological material coated on a front surface of a donor substrate to a front surface of a receiver substrate. An example of implementation: the front surface of the donor substrate is facing the front surface of the receiver substrate. The donor surface comprises a transparent portion and an absorbing layer on a front side of the transparent portion. A first laser beam of a laser irradiates a portion of a back side of the transparent portion to increase the pressure and/or temperature of the absorbing layer to eject a portion of the biological or non-biological material from the donor substrate and transfer the portion of the material to the receiver surface. The portion of the material transferred on the second substrate is post-processed by irradiating with a second laser beam of a laser a portion of the front side of the receiver surface.
