The embossing ice particulates method can be used to introduce micropatterned structures in three-dimensional porous scaffolds [14]. The micropatterned structures include micropatterned pore structures and micropatterns of bioactive substances such as growth factors. 

Three-dimensional porous scaffolds promote new tissue formation by providing a surface and void volume that promotes the attachment, migration,... 

These techniques have several drawbacks, such as the extensive use of highly toxic organic solvents, and long fabrication periods. Therefore, more recent rapid prototyping techniques have been utilized by tissue engineers to produce three-dimensional porous scaffolds (38).
