Abstract:Lattice structures for implants can be printed by metal three-dimensional (3D)-printing and used as a porous microstructure to enhance bone ingrowth in 3D-printed orthopedic implants. However, the design and 3D-printed product can have differences. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether targeted pores can be stably obtained despite printing errors. The specimen was printed in a cube shape with one side in 15 mm and a full lattice with a dode-thin structure in 1.15, 1.5, and 2.0 mm by selective laser mel… Show more
