Pioneering Soundscapes: Investigating Commercial Fused Deposition Modelling Filament's Potential for Ultrasound Technology in Bone Tissue Scaffolds.

ABSTRACT: Daily exposure to various forces creates defects in the musculoskeletal system, leading to health issues, especially for bones. Bone tissue scaffolds and ultrasound technology are both utilized in research and in clinics to enhance bone tissue regeneration. This study aimed to investigate the potential of commercially available fused deposition modeling (FDM) filaments for ultrasound technology using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, nanoindentation, three-point bending, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization methods. Customized FDM filaments were produced by combining polylactic acid (PLA) FDM filaments with medical-grade polycaprolactone (PCL). Using these, we observed the successful production of complex tissue scaffolds via PLAPCL4060 and PLAPCL5050 FDM fila
