SLS Fabrication of Highly Porous Model Including Fine Flow Channel Network Aiming at Regeneration of Highly Metabolic Organs
Fabrication of very porous scaffold for regeneration of highly metabolic organs is
reported. Polycaprolactone (PCL) powder was mixed with fine salt grains as filler and
SLS processed to develop a model including fine flow channel network. The fabricated
model was rinsed with water to dissolve the salt, and high porosity of 90% was
successfully obtained. Additionally, residual powder in the channels was effectively
removed by solution of the filler. Through micro-CT observation, it was confirmed that
channels of which diameter was smaller than 1mm were successfully fabricated and
repeating branching and merging. Result of culture test is also reported.Mechanical Engineerin
