In article number 1903783, Martina Cihova, André R. Studart, Jörg F. Löffler, and co‐workers present a rheologically engineered salt paste as a sacrificial 3D‐printing ink for the structuring of porous magnesium (Mg) scaffolds. The ability to structure the porosity in Mg is highly attractive for its use as a resorbable bone replacement because it enables spatial tuning of the pore distribution to match the mechanical properties of bone.
