Enhancement of Strength and Permeability of Additively Manufactured Scaffold through Gradient Structure for Bone Tissue Engineering

Key Points

• Mechanical strength and permeability are significantly enhanced in scaffolds with gradient structures.
• Testing revealed up to a 30% increase in strength in optimized scaffolds compared to standard models.
• Observational analysis of scaffolds produced using additive manufacturing techniques showcased the benefits of gradient design.
• These findings support the development of more effective implants for bone tissue engineering applications.
