The feasibility of fabricating custom frameworks for tissue regeneration utilizing
three-dimensional inkjet printing technology followed by slip casting was investigated. A
CAD solid model of mold was created with structures within the mold cavity to provide
variable, customized porosity in the cast framework. The polymer mold was printed using
a 3D ink-jet printer. The mold was then infiltrated by an aqueous suspension of
hydroxyapatite to produce porous frameworks that were tested for mechanical properties.Mechanical Engineerin
