My first project starts from the challenge that most of the 3D-printed scaffolds exhibited robust mechanical properties, which are unsuitable for soft tissue regeneration. I designed scaffolds by using curved filaments rather than linear ones. #Biofabrication #3dprinting

The flexible scaffolds were fabricated by SLS, and the compression response and mechanical properties were studied. We found the deformation patterns transformed from buckling to bending and decreased effective moduli from ~Mpa to ~kPa. #Biofabrication #3dprinting

We also observed the Mullins Effect on the 3D-printed scaffolds. This interesting stress-softening effect might be useful in enhancing the adaptability of the scaffolds, as the mechanical properties can be further adjusted by pre-compression. #additivemanufacturing

The AM-derived scaffolds have intrinsic microstructures and deviations from their designed model, which caused mechanical properties unpredictable. Here I developed a μCT-based FEM method to unrevealing the mechanical responses of the AM scaffolds. #3dprinting

The μCT-based FEM can be used to predict the deformation responses of patient-specific breast scaffolds in the implantation site. #FEA #3dprinting #AdditiveManufacturing #Breast
