- Additional information
- For the first time Additive Layer Manufacturing methods have been used to manufacture a lattice structure prosthesis based on scaffold unit cells made from biomedical grade Titanium alloy (Ti-64). This work has provided a new direction for research into the manufacture of human bone of implants which can replace the cancerous part of the bone by tailoring its stiffness to match that of the original bone to avoid stress shielding. This has extended capability in 3D printing complex, lightweight, strong and biological inert implants.
