Abstract

A study was conducted to transfer the 3-D printing technique to the fabrication of TCP and BCP ceramics and evaluate the influence of the granulate composition on the 3-D printed scaffolds. An aqueous solution of dextrin (20 wt.-%) and saccharose (2.5 wt.-%) were used as printing binder. The printing raster resolution and the thickness of the powder layers were selected as 0.29mm for the grid test parts and 0.26mm for the compression test parts. The granulates were characterized in terms of their particle size distribution using laser granulometry and their morphology. It was observed that spray-dried granulates could be fabricated from 'HA and TCP powders' and from a mixture of HA and TCP with the same composition of organic additives. The study also concluded that the mechanical properties of 3-D printed scaffolds can be adjusted by the design of the inner channel structure of the scaffolds.
