Nano CAD design of scaffolds based on triple periodic surfaces

摘要

The design of optimized scaffolds for tissue engineering applications is a key topic of research, as the complex macro- and micro- architectures required for a scaffold depends on the mechanical and vascular properties, physical and molecular queues of the surrounding tissue at the defect site. One way to achieve such hierarchical designs is to create a library of unit cells, which can be assembled through a computational tool. This research work presents a brief overview of periodic-based geometric scaffold modeling methodologies, used in tissue engineering applications to obtain the best scaffold design.
