This open-source library of tissue engineering scaffolds is shared as a set of geometries for printability evaluation, essentially in connection with research purposes focused on additive manufacturing technologies and materials for such technologies.

INKplant EU project and the team of developers do not endorse and are not liable or responsible for any in vitro or in vivo trials performed with printed scaffolds using the shared collection of open-source geometries. These geometries, in their present state, are not medical devices and cannot be CE-marked or employed with cells, animals or humans, unless the actual manufacturers obtain the related informed consents and clearances according to any applicable standards and regulations.

In agreement with the definition of open-source medical devices, for this library a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license applies.
