Application of Fused Depositon Modelling(FDM) on Bone Scaffold Manufacturing Process

Layer by layer, thermoplastic filament is melted and extruded in FDM, a 3D printing technique. Because of its adaptability, cost, and simplicity of usage, it’s well-liked for small-scale manufacturing, prototyping, and customizing. Bone illnesses and fractures are among the health problems that are on the rise in the modern world. Bone grafting is necessary in order to expedite the patient’s condition because the natural healing process of the bone is slow. Bone replacement is created by using biomaterials in the form of a bone scaffold because bone grafting techniques including autografts, allografts, and xenografts have limitations. In regenerative medicine and orthopedics, bone scaffolds are essential because they offer a framework for bone repair and tissue regeneration. FDM has therefore developed into a revolutionary technology in the production of bone scaffolds. Bone scaffolds are made using FDM, an additive manufacturing technology. It entails the melting and layering of biocompatible materials to create a specially made scaffold with regulated mechanical and porosity characteristics that supports bone regeneration and patient-specific customization. There are certain difficulties with using FDM in the production of bone scaffolds, though. The porosity, mechanical characteristics, and rates of deterioration of printed scaffolds must be carefully controlled. This requires careful material selection, process optimization, and post-processing procedures. It also takes extensive testing and validation to achieve the appropriate biocompatibility and biomechanical qualities.
