ABSTRACT: The design of optimized scaffolds for tissue engineering applications is a key topic of research,
as the complex macro- and micro- architectures required for a scaffold depends on the mechanical and vascular
properties, physical and molecular queues of the surrounding tissue at the defect site. One way to achieve such
hierarchical designs is to create a library of unit cells, which can be assembled through a computational tool. This
