Improved quality and functional properties of Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy for personalized orthopedic implants fabrication with EBM process

Influence of building direction on physical and mechanical properties of titanium implants: A systematic review

“…These aspects not only influence the characteristics of the object produced but also affect the properties of the implant since they are determined by the manufacturing technique employed. Each additive manufacturing method has its particularities, such as melting rate, printing speed, material density, and surface quality, which can affect the physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties of the implant [ 7 , 25 , [55] , [56] , [57] ].…”

“…Additive Manufacturing (AM) represents a 3D manufacturing technology that allows objects to be made layer by layer and enables the printing of implants with complex and individualized geometries, which provide a functional and aesthetic solution for replacing lost teeth [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] ]. 3D implants are created from a computer prototype that will be printed in successive layers with micrometric precision according to the patient's anatomy, optimal implant position, and occlusion, which can result in better integration with the bone and a higher long-term success rate [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ].…”

Forged to heal: The role of metallic cellular solids in bone tissue engineering

“…When compared to conventional production techniques, cellular solids have more likely to be rejected after production because they don't meet the quality standards. This is in particular true for components obtained using additive manufacturing which in some cases present residual porosities [ 296 ].…”

A comparison of sound transmission of middle ear prostheses manufactured via SLM

“…The titanium alloyTi6Al4V extra-low interstitial (ELI) has good biocompatibility, and excellent corrosion and wear resistance as well as high strength-to-weight ratio (1)(2)(3)(4). All these properties lend it well for use in various industries, especially in the medical field for prostheses and implants (5).…”
