Abstract

Rapid Prototyping and especially the 3D printing, allows generating complex porous ceramic scaffolds directly from powders. Furthermore, these technologies allow manufacturing patient-specific implants of centimeter size with an internal pore network to mimic bony structures including vascularization. The non-destructive analysis of the internal structure of such 3D printed scaffolds provides important information. We used computed-microtomography as investigation method. Conventional and Synchrotron radiation based methods were tested and compared.
