Scaffold Extrusion
Objectives:
1) To select a polymer that is highly compatible with FDM process parameters.
=> Polycaprolactone
2) To design a scaffold through CAD modeling that will support cell adhesion and migration.
3) To use Slic3r software to "slice" the images into .stl files that can be converted to G-code.
4) To select an extruder head that will operate on the G-code to fabricate the CAD model.
=> MBE v9
5) To use SEM to view the scaffold and measure the accuracy of the dimensions.
