Abstract
We present a new scalable and general approach for manufacturing structured pores/channels in 3D polymer based scaffolds. The method involves 3D printing of a sacrificial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) mould whose geometrical features are designed according to the required vascular channel network. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer is cast around the PVA mould, cross-linked and then the mould is dissolved, leaving behind a structured porous PDMS scaffold. The fabrication method described here is demonstrated with silicone elastomer but various other natural and synthetic polymers are compatible with this fabrication technique
