In　this　paper　the　research　focused　on　the　viability　of　using　the　selective　laser　sintering　(SLS)　technique　for　creating　tissue　engineer　(TE)　scaffolds.　A　biocomposite　blend　comprising　polylactic　acid　(PLA)　and　hydroxyapatite　(HA)　was　used　in　the　research　to　study　the　feasibility　of　the　blend　to　develop　scaffolds.　The　biocomposite　blends　obtained　via　physical　blending　were　subjected　to　laser　sintering　to　fabricate　test　specimens.　The　test　specimens　were　characterized　using　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM)　and　the　components　before　sintering　and　after　sintering　were　analyzed　by　infrared　spectrophotometry　(IR).　The　results　obtained　ascertained　that　SLS-fabricated　scaffolds　have　good　potential　for　TE　applications
