To automatically produce a three-dimensional structure by a cell clump in order to move a suction nozzle by a moving means, to suck and retain the cell clump of a storage plate and to stick the cell clump into needle-shaped bodies of a support.
The apparatus 2 for producing a three-dimensional structure includes a storage plate 3 forming a storage recess 3a for storing the cell clump 1, a support 4 provided with a plurality of the needle-shaped bodies 6 penetrating the cell clumps, a suction nozzle 19 for sucking and retaining the cell clump, and a moving means 20 for moving the suction nozzle. The suction nozzle is equipped with a tubular suction part 19a for sucking and retaining one cell clump and the diameter of the suction part is smaller than the outer diameter of the cell clump and larger than the diameter of the outer circumference of the needle-shaped body 6 of the support 4. When the cell clumps are sucked and retained on the suction part of the suction nozzle, the moving means moves the suction nozzle to the upper side of the needle-shaped bodies, moves the suction nozzle in the directions of the axes of the needle-shaped bodies, sticks the needle-shaped bodies into the cell clumps and inserts the needle-shaped bodies penetrating the cell clumps into the inside of the suction part.
