The invention relates to a method for preparing a porous bone scaffold by laser and increasing mechanical and biological performances of the porous bone scaffold by adding zinc oxide with little amount, which belongs to the bone tissue engineering field. Aiming at uncontrollable performances of aperture distribution, shape, space direction and connectivity in the preparation method of a traditional bone scaffold, and aiming at the disadvantages of poor mechanical property and fast resolving rate existed in tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), the invention provides the method for preparing the porous bone scaffold by using a selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, and provides the method for increasing performance by adding zinc oxide (ZnO). The method for preparing the porous bone scaffold has the advantages that the porous scaffold which enables three-dimensional interconnection is prepared by SLS, zinc oxide with little amount is added for introducing into a liquid phase, the particles densification can be promoted, crystal grain is refined, and the mechanical performance is improved, simultaneously, cell compatibility is increased, the degradation rate is reduced, and the biological performance is increased, so that the interconnected porous beta-TCP bone scaffold with enhanced mechanical performance and good biological performance can be finally prepared. The method has the advantages of simple preparation technology, convenient operation, low cost, easy control of technical parameter and the like.
