Single-parameter mechanical design of a 3D-printed octet truss topological scaffold to match natural cancellous bones

Designing a suitable scaffold matching the mechanical properties of natural bones to optimize the bone regeneration is required in bone tissue engineering. The present work developed a single-parameter design method for the octet truss topological scaffold to achieve the accurate prediction and flex...
