More recent research has produced 3D printed hydroxyapatite scaffolds, for bone tissue engineering, using a ZCorporation Inc ZPrinter 310 (now owned by 3D Systems Inc).
Both plants and animals possess tissues that are assembled through a hierarchical network of pores. Such pores are tuned and designed to adapt to their external environment and have evolved to maximise mass transport processes and rates of reaction.
