Scaffold used as a carrier of the cell has been actively conducted using plenty of technology in tissue engineering. β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) material has shown good biocompatibility and osteoconductive ability when it was implanted as a bone graft substitute in osseous defect in human and animal studies for bone regeneration. In this study, we fabricated the blended polycaprolactone (PCL) and β-TCP scaffold by the polymer deposition system (PDS). The PCL/β-TCP scaffold was fabricated at a temperature of 110℃, pressure of 650 kPa, and scan velocity of 100 mm/sec. The Overall geometry and size of the scaffold were fixed circle type with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 4 mm. PCL/β-TCP scaffold was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Cell attachment and proliferation of the scaffold containing 30 wt% β-TCP was superior to those containing 10 wt% and 20 wt% β-TCP.
