Abstract
In this paper, new fabrication methods using plant cell was proposed. First, to prevent disappearing of culture medium, we fabricated syringe injection type culture mold. Using this mold, we will fabricate any figure structure. Then, to improve fabrication process effectively, the mold which cultures plant cells was optimized. First, we investigated the relationship between growth speed and membrane thickness of the mold. And it was figured out that PDMS mold was the most suitable material to culture plant cells. We also figured out Young´s modules of plant cell structure.
