Laser sintering for the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2012)
Laser sintering (LS) utilises a laser to sinter powder particles. A volumetric model is sliced and processedcross section by cross section to create a physical part. In theory, all powdered materials are suitable forsintering; ...
Engineering assisted surgery: A route for digital design and manufacturing of customized maxillofacial implants
(Elsevier, 2007)
Rapid prototyping (RP) and more recently rapid manufacturing (RM) as a
part of Engineering Assisted Surgery enables manufacturing of customised
implants and prostheses prior to surgical procedures. Beginning with CT
...
Dependence of mechanical properties of polyamide components on build parameters in the SLS process
(Elsevier, 2007)
Customised properties of parts manufactured using the selective laser sintering process are achievable by variation of build parameters. The energy density, controlled by laser power, distance between scan lines and speed ...
Finite element predictions compared to experimental results for the effective modulus of bone tissue engineering scaffolds fabricated by selective laser sintering
(Springer Verlag, 2009)
A current challenge in bone tissue engineering is to create scaffolds with suitable mechanical properties, high porosity, full interconnectivity and suitable pore size. In this paper, polyamide and polycaprolactone scaffolds ...
Interaction of cell culture with composition effects on the mechanical properties of polycaprolactone-hydroxyapatite scaffolds fabricated via selective laser sintering (SLS)
(Elsevier, 2012)
In the current study PCL/HA composites were fabricated using SLS as two- and three-dimensional lattice structures and exposed to a cellular component (MC 313 osteoblast-like cells). The main aims were to determine the ...
Predicting the elastic properties of selective laser sintered PCL/b-TCP bone scaffold materials using computational modelling.
(Springer, 2013)
Abstract This study assesses the ability of finite element (FE) models to capture the mechanical behaviour of sintered orthopaedic scaffold materials. Individual scaffold struts were fabricated from a 50:50 wt% ...
