The potential of the copolymer polycaprolactone‐co‐poly‐d,l‐lactic acid (PCLLA) as a biomaterial for scaffold‐based therapy for breast tissue engineering applications was assessed. First, the synthesized PCLLA was evaluated for its processability by means of additive manufacturing (AM). We found tha...
