J0207-2-4 3D fabrication of biodegradable material using stereolithography

Abstract

Tissue engineering has been applied to the stent and the scaffold for bone regeneration. The stent and the scaffold require to more accurate modeling. This study aimed to build the rapid prototyping process and development of the scaffold. Experiments showed the optimum values of parameters which affect the modeling of DPCA . Under the condition of these parameters, DPCA stent was fabricated. Strength of the stent was comparable to those of metal stents. Consequently, it was suggested that DPCA stent has a plausible potential for medical application.
