The mechanical behavior under compressive stresses of β‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds fabricated by direct‐write assembly (robocasting) technique is analyzed. Concentrated colloidal inks prepared from β‐TCP and HA commercial powders were used to fabricate porous structures consisting of a 3‐D tetragonal mesh of interpenetrating ceramic rods. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of these model scaffolds were determined by uniaxial testing to compare the relative performance of the selected materials. The effect of a 3‐week immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) on the strength of the scaffolds was also analyzed. The results are compared with those reported in the literature for calcium phosphate scaffolds and human bone. The robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds were found to exhibit excellent mechanical performances in terms of strength, especially the …
