The 3‐D printing technique was used for the fabrication of HA, TCP and BCP ceramics and the influence of the granulate composition on the 3‐D printed scaffolds was investigated. An optimal composition for 3‐D printing granulates was found. Thus, individual implants can be manufactured via 3‐D printing from different CaP phase compositions to tailor their degradation behavior and osteoconductivity for enhanced bone healing.
