Abstract

The combination of additive manufacturing technology and cartilage tissue scaffold construction provides a new way for clinical treatment of cartilage injury. The high priority of the cartilage scaffold is closely related to the excellent biomechanical properties, fatigue life and medical performance. In this paper, three kinds of cartilage scaffolds are designed, and three-dimensional parametric geometric and numerical simulation models are established. Based on the simulation analysis and comparison of the three kinds of scaffolds, a scaffold model is finally determined. The porosity reaches 87.38%, the equivalent elastic modulus is 9.64Gpa, and it has permanent fatigue life in service environment. It concluded that the designed Ti6Al4V titanium alloy scaffold is suitable for cartilage transplantation.
