DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF 3D SCAFFOLDS USING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The development of 3D scaffolds using additive manufacturing technology has revolutionized tissue engineering due to high accuracy and reproducibility. Traditional scaffold fabrication techniques have geometric and structural limitations, as well as limited mechanical strength, and additive manufacturing technology works to overcome these limitations. The main objective of this study is to design and develop 3D scaffolds using additive manufacturing technology. In this research 3D scaffolds were designed and printed with optimized parameters using additive manufacturing, and its biocompatibility and properties were evaluated. According to this study, the 3D scaffolds produced with additive manufacturing exhibited high geometric configuration, structural uniformity, and mechanical strength. The study demonstrated the promising approach for tissue engineering applications in terms of developing 3D scaffolds.
