Stereolithography is a solid freeform technique (SFF) that was introduced in the late 1980s.
Although many other techniques have been developed since then, stereolithography …

Rapid prototyping (RP) is a common name for several techniques, which read in data from
computer-aided design (CAD) drawings and manufacture automatically three-dimensional …

Porous polylactide constructs were prepared by stereolithography, for the first time without
the use of reactive diluents. Star-shaped poly(d,l-lactide) oligomers with 2, 3 and 6 arms were …

The technologies employed for the preparation of conventional tissue engineering scaffolds
restrict the materials choice and the extent to which the architecture can be designed. Here …

A technique for the preparation of porous polymeric structures involving coagulation, compression
moulding and particulate leaching has been developed. The technique combines the …

The advance of rapid prototyping techniques has significantly improved control over the
pore network architecture of tissue engineering scaffolds. In this work, we have assessed the …
