This research demonstrates enhanced scaffold fabrication using 3D printing, highlighting improved mechanical strength and biocompatibility in polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite composites.
Key Points
Suspended 3D printing significantly reduces print errors by 85% compared to conventional techniques.
The optimized dPCL/HA scaffolds displayed a compressive Young's modulus approximately 50 MPa higher than PCL scaffolds.
Cell proliferation tests demonstrated better performance for dPCL/HA scaffolds than traditional PCL scaffolds.
Complex anatomical structures were successfully 3D printed, indicating robust applications for tissue engineering.
