Abstract

Ti-based metallic porous structures with adjustable mechanical performance developed by computer-assisted design and produced by laser powder bed fusion to engineer advanced bioactive implants for orthopedic applications.Ti-based metallic porous structures produced by additive manufacturing can be effectively used to develop advanced bioactive implants for orthopedic applications. We developed several models of porous structures by computer-assisted design and produced porous specimens of Ti-6Al-4V by laser powder bed fusion. We show how variation in pore geometry and dimensions can influence the mechanical performance of porous specimens under compression tests. Increasing porosity with a fixed elementary unit size leads to a significant reduction in specimen’s strength of the same internal topology, while differently designed porous structures with the same pore size provide a considerable variation in the strength as well. Elastic properties of porous materials can be adjusted closer to those of bone tissue depending on the model parameters. The models demonstrating a promising potential to be used in medicine are discussed.
