Abstract
In the field of Bone Tissue Engineering, the primary focus has been on improving the regeneration of bone tissue using biomaterials. Digital Light Processing-based vat photopolymerization, also known as stereolithography, is an Additive Manufacturing technique that shows an outstanding potential for fabricating porous scaffolds. This method offers notable benefits including the capacity to generate highly interconnected and porous structures with high reproducibility. This MS thesis work focuses on the printing – carried out in the company Lithoz GmbH (Austria) – and analysis of BG-1d scaffolds, which had a complex microstructure obtained from micro-CT scanning of a polymeric sponge used as the input to the printing system.
BG-1d is a bioactive silicate glass that has already shown success in regenerating bone tissue in both animal and human subjects
