Summary: This study proposes a biomimetic graded scaffold design for bone tissue engineering using additive manufacturing technology. The scaffold has adjustable graded pore size to avoid stress concentration, stress shielding, and mass transport issues. By adjusting the porosity and layer thickness parameters, the mechanical properties and pore size of the scaffold can be tailored to match biological bone.

Summary: A new lattice structure based on octagonal geometry was proposed and produced using Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique. Cubic symmetry was imposed to obtain an isotropic lattice structure, with the unit cell consisting of three perpendicular rings. The morphological and mechanical characterization of the novel unit cell was investigated and compared with other lattice structures used as bone scaffold. The results showed that the new lattice structure had suitable mechanical properties and further tests will focus on its osteointegration capability.

Summary: The fidelity of additive manufacturing (AM), defined as the reliability of the structure's morphology and mechanical properties, is actively studied in the context of 3D printed scaffolds for bone regeneration. Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) was employed to improve the AM fidelity of a 3D Kagome scaffold, resulting in enhanced compressive stiffness. The DfAM did not affect cell proliferation, ensuring the fabrication fidelity of 3D Kagome scaffolds without compromising cell culturing characteristics.

Summary: Friction stir additive manufacturing (FSAM) is used to fabricate nanoparticle reinforced aluminum matrix composites, optimizing material properties in terms of hardness and grain size. The dispersion of nanoparticles increases hardness and reduces grain size, while re-stirring and reheating in the stirring zone improves mechanical properties. Both nanoparticle size and volume fraction have significant effects on grain size and hardness.
