摘要

Bone scaffolds must provide mechanical stability while maintaining an optimized porous structure. In this study, the mechanical performance of polymeric scaffolds designed for additive manufacturing was evaluated using FEM, combined with a multifactorial design. Three-dimensional scaffolds designed from polymers, ABS, PLA UHMWPE, and PEEK, were analyzed considering scaffold length (5–6 mm) and pore diameter (0.4–0.8 mm) under a compressive load of 750 N. Statistical analysis showed that pore diameter significantly influenced displacement and strain. The regression models exhibited high predictive capability. The configuration of 6 mm length and 0.4 mm pore diameter provided the highest mechanical stability.
