Generation and visualization of differently formulated CPC constructs. A Schematic diagram for the preparation of CPC prints hardened with varying methods. CPC prints were generated, then incubated in either water or a humidified incubator to create the “Water Alone” and “Vapor Alone” groups, respectively. Some Vapor Alone prints were then subjected to secondary incubations in either water or simulated body fluid (SBF) to create the “Vapor + Water” and “Vapor + SBF” groups, respectively. B SEM images of printed CPC constructs at varying magnifications. Images depict 3D lattices with 0.2 mm strand diameter and 50% infill at 30X magnification (B(i-iv)) and 10,000X magnification (B(v-viii))
