This research vector involves processing the materials into adequate parts and porous scaffolds, using innovative and non-conventional techniques, such as rapid-prototyping, in particular for applications demanding high control over the scaffold morphology. A significant challenge lies in designing the complex patient-specific scaffold geometries necessary for reconstructive tissue engineering applications. The idea is to use patient's own CT or MRI images to design a geometry that fits precisely into the place

• Where repair and regeneration are needed.
