Purpose – The purpose of this study is to show how selective laser sintering (SLS) manufacturing of bioresorbable scaffolds is used for applications in bone tissue engineering. Design/methodology/approach – Polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds were computationally designed and then fabricated via SLS for applications in bone and cartilage repair. Findings – Preliminary biocompatibility data were acquired using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) assuring a satisfactory scaffold colonization by hMSCs. Originality/value – A promising procedure for producing porous scaffolds for the repair of skeletal defects, in tissue engineering applications, was developed.
