TABLE 1.
Optimized processing parameters for 3D printing of PCL stents.
Stent | Z(mm) | VT (mm/min) | VR (r/min) | Mandrel diameter | Mandrel material |
PCL | 1.5 | 1000 | 1000 | 2.5 | Brass |
Z: distance between needle and mandrel, VT: needle translational velocity, VR: mandrel rotational velocity.
