Abstract: Scaffold design for tissue engineering requires an optimal balance between mechanical strength, permeability and biocompatibility. In this study, a sustainable bio-composite scaffold was developed by using Nypa fruticans-shell powder as the base material and optimized through computational design and multi-physics simulation. Various scaffold architectures (gyroid, diamond and cubic) and porosity levels (40-80%) were modeled to evaluate their mechanical and transport behavior. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to assess compressive stiffness and stress distribution. The results indicate that gyroid scaffolds porosity offers the best balance between structural integrity. It was effective modulus suitable for bone tissue engineering application. This study highlights the potential of natural bio-composites in additive manufacturing for sustainable biomedical applications.
