the limitation of the 2D analysis. SEM micrographs were Considering the ligament thickness, the undersizing effect
elaborated to estimate the diameter of the circumference may be correlated with a higher reduction of the ligament
that better approximates the pore boundary. This size thickness in the middle part and the surface irregularity
was deemed to be more appropriate with respect to due to the printing process.
