The utilization of bone scaffold implants represents a promising approach for repairing substantial bone defects. In recent years, various traditional scaffold structures have been developed and, with advances in materials biology and computer technology, novel scaffold designs are now being evaluated. This study investigated the effects of a novel scaffold unit cell design (Hexanoid) through a computational framework, comparing its performance to that of four well-known scaffold designs. A finite element analysis numerical simulation and mechanical testing were conducted to analyze the dynamic bone ingrowth process and the mechanical strength of the different scaffold designs. Bone formation within the Ti-6Al-4V metal scaffolds was simulated based on the theory of bone remodeling. The outcomes of the study reveal that the novel scaffold design (Hexanoid) attains a notably elevated ultimate bone volume fraction (∼27%), it outperformed conventional unit-cell designs found in extant literature, such as cubic design with 19.1% and circular design with 16.9% in relation to the bone-to-cavity volume ratio. This novel structure also has comparable mechanical strength to that of human compact bone tissue. While the design was not optimal in every category, it provided a very satisfactory overall performance regarding certain key aspects of bone performances in comparison with the five scaffold structures evaluated. Although limitations exist in this project, similar methodologies can also be applied in the primary evaluation of new scaffold structures, resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness. In future research, the results of this project may be integrated with clinical rehabilitation processes to offer a critical evaluation for optimization of additional novel scaffold unit-cell structure designs.

This article presents a high-frequency characterization from 1 up to 10 GHz of electroplated conductive filaments in 3D printed microwave topologies. This study implements different microstrip lines and antennas to compare their performance as-is and with the electroplating process. The results for the microstrip lines show a significant decrease in losses for the electroplated devices, even reaching loss levels of pure copper devices. In addition, considerations about the required thickness for the conductor are analyzed by considering the skin depth requirement for nonideal conductors. The results for a patch antenna measurement confirm that the antenna height can be reduced to extremely low levels.

Fused-filament fabrication (FFF) is an extremely popular additive manufacturing process due to its affordability, relative ease to operate, and wide range of possible materials. It is also notorious for the hundreds of different process variables, which often are overlooked in favor of parameters considered to be more relevant for mechanical performance, such as printing and bed temperatures, printing speed, and layer height. Thus, this study is aimed at evaluating some of the less frequently studied process variables, namely raster orientation angles (and their stacking sequence) and feeding rate. Based on this, the influence of these variables on the tensile and flexural properties of short carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide printed by FFF was assessed. The study concluded that stacking layers with raster angles of 0°/90° and +30°/−30° resulted in the best trade-off between tensile and bending properties, with the former reaching ultimate tensile and flexural strengths of 111 ± 1 and 137 ± 5 MPa, respectively. The study also found that there was no increase in part density or mechanical properties when the volumetric flow was increased up to 120% of the intended road volume. Therefore, the hypothesis that an increase in flow rate would result in less inter-road gaps could not be confirmed with the current setup.

This study describes a 3D fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing process using a graphene-impregnated polylactic acid (G-PLA) filament to create a new type of rigid, plastic, nonconductive, and anticorrosion layer. Therefore, the possibility of 3D printing a plastic layer using FDM methods is demonstrated herein. A commercial magnet such as N35 NdFeB can be used to produce an efficient shielding film by additive manufacturing. As the coating layer thickness increases, the remanence decreases from 1.17 to 1.01 T for the G-PLA coating. Visual tests were performed after exposure to all aqueous NaCl test solutions (0.5 and 1 M), and no evidence of corrosion of the coating was obtained.

Due to its inbuilt ability to release biocompatible materials encapsulating living cells in a predefined location, 3D bioprinting is a promising technique for regenerating patient-specific tissues and organs. Among various 3D bioprinting techniques, extrusion-based 3D bioprinting ensures a higher percentage of cell release, ensuring suitable external and internal scaffold architectures. Scaffold architecture is mainly defined by filament geometry and width. A systematic selection of a set of process parameters, such as nozzle diameter, print speed, print distance, extrusion pressure, and material viscosity, can control the filament geometry and width, eventually confirming the user-defined scaffold porosity. For example, carefully selecting two sets of process parameters can result in a similar filament width (FW). However, the lack of availability of sufficient analytical relationships between printing process parameters and FW creates a barrier to achieving defined scaffold architectures with available resources. In this article, the factorial design of experiment (DoE) method has been adopted to obtain a relationship among scaffold properties that is, FW with 3D printing process parameters. The FW was determined using an image processing technique and an analytical relationship was developed, including various process parameters to maintain defined FW variation for different hydrogels within an acceptable range to confirm the overall geometric fidelity of the scaffold. The validation experiment results showed that our analytical relationship obtained from the DoE effectively predicts the scaffold's architectural property. Furthermore, the proposed analytical relationships can help achieve defined scaffold architectures with available resources.

The application of a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) during a metallurgy solidification process has proven to be an effective method in refining the grain size and improving the mechanical performance of the material. However, fewer works were reported in the realm of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) and the mechanism of grain refinement consequent to the PMF is still unclear. In this work, numerical models were developed to study the thermal-fluid characteristics in the Ti-alloy melt pool generated during the laser scanning process under the effect of a combined direct current (DC) electric field and PMF. The temperature field and magneto-oscillation effect in the melt pool were discussed to elucidate the resultant microstructure evolution. The results show that the application of a combined DC electric field and PMF could decrease the maximum temperature in the melt pool, but increase the temperature gradient at the liquid-solid interface. The electric-magnetic field can lead to a notable increase in the magnitude of the fluid velocity and a greater fluctuation in the magnitude. A more refined microstructure is expected to be obtained, of which the mechanism may be ascribed to not only the increased temperature gradient, solidification growth rate, and cooling rate at the liquid-solid interface but also the enhanced fluid convection and continuous impulse force in the melt. For better grain refinement, the preferable duty cycles of the PMF should be <50%. The findings of this study may give a new insight into the electromagnetic controlling methods for LAM of Ti-alloy parts.
