“…10 Preparation methods such as freeze drying, gas forming, solvent casting–particle leaching and electrostatic spinning have been used for the preparation of porous scaffolds with collagen, alginate, silk fibroin, and poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) stent materials. 11–13 However, these methods are unable to control the microstructure of scaffolds. The emergence of 3D manufacturing technology provides a potential method for the production of meshes with a controlled microstructure.…”
