A bstract This study was the first attempt to design, fabricate, and evaluate multi-material bone scaffolds composed of Ti6Al4V and akermanite (Ca₂Mg(Si₂O₇), Ak), produced via direct ink writing (DIW), followed by sintering. Two scaffold architectures were developed (i.e., monolithic and core-shell) aimed at combining the mechanical strength of the Ti alloy with the osteoinductive properties of Ak. Uniaxial compression testing demonstrated that the core-shell scaffolds exhibited higher relative-density-normalized elastic moduli (up to 7.65 ± 0.35 GPa) and yield strengths (up to 444.7 ± 8.1 MPa) than the monolithic designs, namely Ti6Al4V-only scaffolds (elastic modulus: 4.29 ± 0.18 GPa; yield strength: 230.9 ± 1.7 MPa) and 90% Ti6Al4V/10% Ak composite scaffolds (elastic modulus: 3.05 ± 0.08 GPa; yield strength: 24.7 ± 1.4 MPa).The enhanced mechanical performance was attributed to interfacial reinforcement and optimized material distribution. Bioactivity assays in r-SBF revealed surface Ca–P deposition on akermanite-containing scaffolds by SEM and EDS, a response not observed on Ti6Al4V only specimens. Complementary ICP-OES showed marked depletion of phosphate and calcium ions, consistent with rapid HAp nucleation and growth, and substantial silicon release in composite samples, a known pro-osteogenic stimulus. Cell culture assays further confirmed the cytocompatibility of the Ti6Al4V, composite and core-shell scaffolds for preosteoblasts. Furthermore, SEM imaging showed that all the scaffolds supported cell attachment and evidenced a distinct cell spatial distribution depending on scaffold composition and architecture. These results contribute to advancing the scaffold design for bone repair and regeneration by proposing DIW-fabricated Ti6Al7V/Ak core-shell scaffolds that show potential as customizable, load-bearing implants with improved mechanical properties and surface bioactivity relative to the Ti6Al4V scaffolds.
