Abstract

A demand of organ regeneration increase in recent year. There is a method using a scaffold in organ regeneration. Here, we assume that clinical engineers operate a 3D printer to generate a scaffold of organ regeneration in a hospital, and a possibility of a scaffold creation by a general and commercial 3D printer is discussed in this research. A basic discussion regarding a minimum member diameter and a minimum space between members regarding a scaffold are carried out when a filament material is PLA (polylactic acid). The obtained their results are feasible for the scaffold creation.
