ABSTRACT: Rapid Prototyping (RP) has been applied in tissue engineering for creating a scaffold with

controllable architecture that is difficult to achieve with conventional scaffold fabrication techniques. However,

the diameter of filament produced with RP techniques may be limited to micro level. Nano filament, on the other

hand, can be easily achieved but with uncontrollable architecture by electrospinning, ...
