| Abstract Scope |
Melt extrusion additive manufacturing is widely used to fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering due to affordability, versatility, and wide acceptance of various materials. The reliability and controllability of the printing process are necessary to produce scaffolds with desired properties for tissue engineering. Analytical models are developed in this study to simulate the geometric characteristics of cylindrical polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds produced by the melt extrusion additive manufacturing technique using fluid mechanics. The effectiveness of models is verified through comparison with the experimental results. Simulation results show that geometric characteristics have a strong relationship with processing parameters, and the developed models are useful in predicting the geometric characteristics of the scaffold structure produced by the materials extrusion-based additive manufacturing technique. |
