Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a process for preparing a metal scaffold or foam, for instance a metallic scaffold suitable for use as a bone implant, and in particular a biodegradable metallic implant. The process comprises the steps of preparing a template, coating the template with a solid composition comprising metallic powder, and then material removal of the polymer template. The present invention also relates to a metallic scaffold or foam that is obtainable by said process. The present invention also relates to the use of a solid composition comprising metallic powder in a process of coating an additive- manufactured polymer template to produce a metal particle-coated polymer template.
