Tissue scaffolds must satisfy multiple design constraints, such as geometry, mechanical properties, and connectivity, to yield a functioning heterogeneous tissue. Onemethod that accounts for these multiple constraints is the unit-cellbased assembly approach. In this method, the volume that represents the natural tissue is filled with unit-cells that meet thedesign requirements of the volume. This approach requires data exchanges between several procedures including design, characterization, assembly, analysis, and fabrication procedures. In the paper, we present a data exchange system to store andretrieve the unit-cell information and customize data migrationamong applications. We also present our application of this dataexchange system to facilitate the management of data flow.
