In this study, microhydroxyapatite and nanosilica sol were used as the raw materials for fabrication of bioceramic bone

scaffold using selective laser sintering technology in a self-developed 3D Printing apparatus. When the fluidity of
ceramic slurry is matched with suitable laser processing parameters, a controlled pore size of porous bone scaffold can
be fabricated under a lower laser energy. Results shown that the fabricated scaffolds have a bending strength of 14.1
MPa, a compressive strength of 24 MPa, a surface roughness of 725 nm, a pore size of 750 mu m, an apparent porosity
of 32%, and a optical density of 1.8. Results indicate that the mechanical strength of the scaffold can be improved after
heat treatment at 1200 A degrees C for 2 h, while simultaneously increasing surface roughness conducive to
osteoprogenitor cell adhesion. MTT method and SEM observations confirmed that bone scaffolds fabricated under the
optimal manufacturing process possess suitable biocompatibility and mechanical properties, allowing smooth adhesion
and proliferation of osteoblast-like cells. Therefore, they have great potential for development in the field of tissue
engineering
