This work aims at providing guidance through systematic experimental characterization, for the design of 3D printed scaffolds for potential orthopaedic applications, focusing on fused deposition modeling (FDM) with a composite of clinically available polycaprolactone (PCL) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). First, we studied the effect of the chemical composition (0% to 60% β-TCP/PCL) on the scaffold's properties. We showed that surface roughness and contact angle were respectively proportional ...[more]
