Surface Design in Additive Manufacturing Medical Implants

Thomas Gerdes

Bone–implant stability can be improved by fabricating porous titanium implant surfaces using additive manufacturing (AM) with the right porosity and size. In order to enhance the effectiveness of bone ingrowth and the strength of the interfacial bonded, a thorough understanding of the biomechanical properties of porous (lattice) implants is essential. The findings of this study call for the development of a brand-new type of lattice implant with a lattice that provides a favorable physiological environment for bone ingrowth and strengthens the bond between the implant and bone.
