cutting the melting PLA matrix during the printing process. (a)
This phenomenon is not remarkable during the filament
extrusion because the filament has a relatively large dimension
(2.85 mm). In the printing process, however, the one-layer
depositing height is only 0.2 mm which is much closer to the
diameter of steel powders, resulting in a larger portion of voids
when the powder loading was 10 vol% or 15 vol%. Large gaps
between layers are found in PLA15, which might be caused by
the contact of steel powders between layer surfaces. Those
contact could weaken the surface adhesion so that the adjacent
layer could be detached to generate large gaps.
The existence of steel powders significantly contributes to
changes in the dimensions and surface roughness of the
scaffolds. According to the SEM images, gaps are generated
between layers, which could be the main cause in the increase (b)
of mean strut width that narrows down the mean pore size.

However, within the PLA/316L groups, PLA10 composite
scaffolds exhibit the highest mean strut width. This could be
explained by the varied thermal properties that will be
discussed later. On the other hand, because of the entrapment
effect of steel powders, the melting flow PLA matrix is
inhibited and smaller surface roughness of PLA/316L struts is
thus obtained.
