The purpose of this study was to improve the design and manufacturing process of new medical implants, by selective laser melting. After manufacturing process, the implants were measured, microscopically and mechanical analyzed. Implants fabricated by SLM can be an attractive option for surface coatings to improve the osseointegration process. SLM process change the way that the surgeons are planning surgeries and engineers are designing custom implants. This process eliminated the constraints of shape and mechanical characteristics for implants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
