Critique:

a. For the purpose of facilitating comprehension of the experimental setting, the

publication includes extensive details about the materials and equipment used in the

research investigation, such as the materials, characterisation tools, and 3D printing

machine.

b. The study's clarity and reproducibility are improved by the method and procedural

descriptions, which are organized and concise and provide a systematic outline of

the steps involved in creating the scaffolds, characterizing the powder, specifying

the scaffold design, and investigating printer parameters.

c. The experimental setup, scaffold designs, and tiny details of the printed scaffolds

are made easier to see with the help of tables, graphs, and SEM photos. These

illustrations support the text and provide readers interested in related research with a

thorough summary.

d. A strong statistical approach to data analysis is demonstrated by the study's efficient

data collection and presentation, which makes use of ANOVA and signal-to-noise

ratio analysis to examine the impact of different parameters on the mechanical

properties and dimensional correctness of the 3D-printed scaffolds.
