Abstract

(Figure Presented).There is an unmet need for a consistent set of tools for the evaluation of 3Dprinted constructs. A toolbox developed to design, characterize, and evaluate 3Dprinted poly(propylene fumarate) scaffolds is proposed for vascularized engineered tissues. This toolbox combines modular design and nondestructive fabricated design evaluation, evaluates biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and models angiogenesis.
