The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a channel-coupled scaffold. The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a channel-coupled scaffold, which includes: (1) a step of compressing a first elastic substrate which includes a groove on the surface of the substrate to close the groove; (2) a step of loading a scaffold composition onto the closed groove; and (3) a step of restoring the elastic substrate. The present disclosure also provides an apparatus for manufacturing a channel-coupled scaffold, which includes: a first elastic substrate which includes a groove on the surface of the substrate and onto which a scaffold composition is loaded: and a compression module which compresses the width of the groove of the elastic substrate to close it. The apparatus or method may accumulate a microchannel controlling local mass transfer, and align a collagen fiber in the scaffold at the same time.
