AbstractDirect ceramic stereolithography (SLA) is done using UV-curable suspensions of powders in acrylates in a conventional SLA machine. Hydroxyapatite prototypes for bone tissue scaffolds are built from Image-Based Design files, featuring an interior architecture of void passages. Complex alumina objects are built as digital sculptures. Piezoelectric ceramic actuators from PZT, which are difficult to photocure, are built using indirect stereolithography, where SLAbuilt epoxy molds are used to form a thermal-cured suspension of PZT powders. We report on the thermal-curing behavior of the suspensions, and the fundamentals of part building.

Polydopamine (PDA) prepared in the form of a layer of polymerized dopamine (DA) in a weak alkaline solution has been used as a versatile biomimetic surface modifier as well as a broadly used immobilizing macromolecule. This review mainly discusses the progress of biomaterial surface modification inspired by the participation of PDA in bone tissue engineering. A comparison between PDA-assisted coating techniques and traditional surface modification applied to bone tissue engineering is first presented. Secondly, the chemical composition and the underlying formation mechanism of PDA coating layer as a unique surface modifier are interpreted and discussed. Furthermore, several typical examples are provided to evidence the importance of PDA-assisted coating techniques in the construction of bone biosubstitutes and the improvement of material biocompatibility. Nowadays, the application of PDA as a superior surface modifier in multifunctional biomaterials is drawing tremendous interests in bone tissue scaffolds to promote the osteointegration for bone regeneration.
