| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are among the most effective metallic biomaterials. The fabrication of the Mg scaffold can be done using a variety of traditional techniques. Still, these methods lack the control over pore interconnection that is necessary for the formation of bone tissue and the healing of fractured bones. Moreover, advanced 3D printers for metal scaffolds printing is costlier. Hence, the rapid tooling method is used to develop magnesium scaffolds in the present work. The optimized parameters for fabricating magnesium scaffolds are determined. The structural characteristics and mechanical properties of the porous Mg specimens were investigated. The results of the study suggested that the porous magnesium scaffold fabricated via rapid tooling has the potential to serve as degradable implants for bone substitute applications. |
