Understanding of cellular functions and phenomena will bring benefits in a medical field. The construction of three-dimensional cellular tissues in vitro contributes to the elucidation of their functions. This study aims to develop a 3D single cell printer based on micro-droplets containing a single cell. We fabricated an encapsulation channel, which is able to capture, encapsulate, and collect a single cell. The encapsulation channel was fabricated with a PDMS thin layer and PDMS channel, which was made by soft lithography. We captured and encapsulated single cells; based on this results, we also designed an advanced model of a microchannel.
