Abstract

A bone defect referred as absence of bone in its areas where it is typically present. Bone defects result from trauma, tumors, or infections. Bone defects frequently occur in conjunction with significant soft-tissue injuries, including those affecting muscles, tendons, and joints. The surgeon must address the soft tissues alongside correcting the bone defect, which can often be achieved through 3D printing techniques, to optimize the patient’s functional outcome. Engineering bone tissue can facilitate the replacement of critical bone defects. Three-dimensional printing serves as an effective technology for the production of scaffolds essential in bone reconstruction. Various binders can produce bone scaffolds with the necessary mechanical strength. Currently, bone tissue engineering presents a novel approach for addressing bone abnormalities through the fabrication of porous bone scaffolds utilizing 3D printing technology. Designing materials for bone-tissue engineering which necessitates a comprehension of the anatomy and arrangement of natural bone tissue, along with the careful a selection of biomaterials, which may include polymers, bio ceramics, metals, and composites, that are either biomimetic or acceptable synthetic materials for the study of bone tissue engineering, scaffolds may be categorized as follows: polymeric, ceramic, composite, and metallic scaffolds, as well as structure-based lattices. The project utilizes two-unit cell scaffold structures: ISO Truss and Kelvin cell. The main aim of this project is 3D printing of scaffold structures using Digital light processing (DLP) technique using MED-WHT-10 material which contains bio compatible properties with complete set of mechanical properties are given per ISO and ASTM standards and testing the printed scaffolds for tensile, flexural and compression strength using INSTRON 3369.
