Determination of the Optimum Architecture of Additively Manufactured Magnetic Bioactive Glass Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering and Drug-Delivery Applications.

For better bone regeneration, precise control over the architecture of the scaffolds is necessary. Because the shape of the pore may affect the bone regeneration, therefore, additive manufacturing has been used in this study to fabricate magnetic bioactive glass (MBG) scaffolds with three different architectures, namely, grid, gyroid, and Schwarz D surface with 15 × 15 × 15 mm dimensions and 70% porosity. These scaffolds have been fabricated using an in-house-developed material-extrusion-based additive manufacturing system.
