Integrating Melt Electrowriting and Fused Deposition Modeling to Fabricate Hybrid Scaffolds Supportive of Accelerated Bone Regeneration (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 3/2024)

Bone Healing Applications The cover of article 2302057 by Daniel J Kelly and co-workers shows a false colored scanning electron microscope (SEM) image, showing a hybrid additively manufactured scaffold for bone healing applications, which utilizes fused deposition modelling (FDM, colored blue) to fabricate the scaffold shell, and melt electrowriting (MEW, colored yellow) to fabricate the core. This novel hybrid manufacturing approach has been shown to significantly enhance healing outcomes in large bone defects.
