Abstract

A method for forming a scaffold for use in fabricating a soft tissue implant, comprising: receiving, by a processor, soft tissue data corresponding to dimensions for a soft tissue, and a first and second weighting factor selected based on the dimensions of the soft tissue; transforming, by the processor, the soft tissue data, based on the first and second weighting factors, into a plurality of pin coordinates in a multi-dimensional space defining a shape of the scaffold for use in fabricating the soft tissue implant; and providing, by the processor, instructions to form the scaffold using weaving operations based on the pin coordinates.
