Two different techniques used in the production of foam structures: 3D printing and glass foaming

abstract

This paper reports on the preparation of cellular materials by different techniques. Bioactive and resorbable scaffolds based on biphasic calcium phosphate were produced by 3D-printing using extrudable pastes through fine nozzles, according to a pre-defined spatial arrangement considered suitable for bone regeneration and tissue engineering applications. Milled powders of cathode ray glass tubes and egg shell wastes were mixed and compacted to produce recycled glass foams via viscous flow sintering and thermal decomposition of the egg shell component that played the role of foaming agent.
