Abstract
The newest bioengineering approaches that have made a breakthrough would have to be tissue engineering (TE) oriented: the use of 3D architecture to create porous, load-bearing scaffolds for bone tissue engineering [1–3]. This creation of bone structure can still allow for nutrient flow and waste removal to keep the surrounding, living bone, viable, but can increase the structure and rigidity of the bone. The use of rapid prototyping and 3D printing is especially interesting because one can create geometries that are impossible with typical machining.
If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough
