Medical devices contribute to the carbon footprint generated by the healthcare sector. The development of implants and biomaterials using recycled waste materials promotes sustainable advances in tissue engineering. Additively manufactured (AM) bone-substituting biomaterials with multifunctional properties, e.g., biodegradability, antibacterial and osteogenic potential, can contribute to sustainable healthcare.

Extrusion-based 3D printing of biodegradable porous iron-based scaffolds for bone substitution
The treatment of large bone injuries continues to be challenging partially due to the limited quantity and quality of bone replacement materials. We developed porous biodegradable iron (Fe)-based scaffolds using extrusion 3D printing technology and comprehensively studied the scaffolds characteristics, while progressively aiming to fulfill all the material requirements for use as bone substitutes.
